SOLON — Iowa pharmacy students are expected to be a shot in the arm to Iowa’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout, especially in rural areas where there aren’t enough pharmacists. Marissa Stewart, a third-year pharmacy student at the University of Iowa, already has volunteered at vaccine clinics in Maquoketa and Solon and hopes to do more this spring since she’s done with core classes and won’t start pharmacy rotations until the fall.“With the patients I’ve given the vaccine, I’ve noticed how appreciative they are,” said Stewart, 25, of Blue Grass.
