The new initiative only started a couple days ago and deputies have already received about a dozen calls.
Simpson said the order must be paid for already before a deputy can pick it up.
“The pharmacies they’re working closely with us to make sure to get that transaction part done. We got a little permission slip person need to sign for them to be able to that,” Simpson said.
Simpson said he’ll continue these services until the state of emergency is lifted.
