Yes they're more than qualified to do that. I get the flu shot from them every year.

I got it from the pharmacist before. I didn't know techs could do it. Usually the shots don't hurt but this lady gave no shits. BAM!

Yes.

You're seeing more and more pharmacies doing vaccines now because it's cheaper for insurance to pay a pharmacy tech a few bucks to jab you than it is for a doctor in an office to jab you.

They probably just jabbed you too high where the skin is a bit more tight.

Im sure if you go to a proper pharmacist, chemist, GP, hospital, etc, whoever is giving you the injection is trained to do it. Thats all that matters. You dont ask the CEO of Walmart to work a checkout lane

This is a good thing bevause more places doing vaccine means it more accessible.

Oh I agree.

Just give it 10 years or so until pharmacies are the ONLY places you can get vaccines.

As a doctor, I can say the pharmacy techs are better at it than me and probably most other doctors. They just do it way more often.
