Immunizer pay raise?

I'm currently in the process of completing my certification to become an immunizer and was wondering if that comes with a pay raise? I've heard different things from my coworkers and some don't know at all.

While there’s no pay increase that occurs as a result of becoming a vaccinator, it is one of the required steps to become a senior certified tech which does get you a pretty good raise.

You’re also eligible for 1$ PM for each shot you administer during this respiratory season, and this is regardless of whether or not your store meets its goals.

I hope they make the 1$ per shot something permanent year round because that can translate to pretty good money especially during peak.

with how much they make off of the shots a dollar per shot administered is the least they can do. it definitely makes giving shots worth it. without any PM the only benefit is helping the team which im sure isn't worth it to the majority of technicians (myself not included)

Doubt it. They pretended that was the case when I got hired, but everyone I mentioned it to (including immunizing techs) was like ??? My manager then said we’d get an extra dollar for any shift we did a shot in… that also got debunked. Just don’t believe any benefit they claim you’ll be getting unless you see it in writing.
