Abstract The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed significant threats to population health worldwide and confirmed the importance of retail pharmacists during this pandemic. In this article, it is possible to acknowledge the changes that have occurred to the roles of retail pharmacists, concentrating on their activities in dispensing medicine, patient counseling, and care during the pandemic. It discusses the problems that they encountered, which are lack of supplies of drugs, pressures in dealing with a large number of patients, and anxiety and fear of the clients. On the other hand, it explores the creativity of clients, which is comprised of the use of technology in coming up with teleconsultations, social distancing, and teaming up with health care centers. In the present article, the author focuses on illustrating retail pharmacists' role in enhancing access to and participation in meeting public health needs, especially in communities that are considered hard to reach. Moreover, it traces the experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent effects on the future of retail pharmacy business and practice opportunities. This article discusses the importance of retaining and developing the input of retail pharmacists during the pandemic; this author argues that retail pharmacists should be prepared to deal with future public health issues.
