“Staying healthy”

Hi Strands fans. Maybe it's because pharmacies don't play as big a part of life over here in the U.K, but I really struggled with today's puzzle.
I used a clue, and REFILL was duly revealed along the right-hand side. That left me none the wiser, but I was still able to see the word CONSULT in the bottom-right corner.
Still baffled, I used a second clue which revealed COUNTER in the top-right corner.
It was only when I put all three words together than I saw the spangram of PHARMACY and things fell into place.
Two words were left to find on the other side of the grid. MEDICINE was the obvious one at the top, which just left IMMUNIZATION below it to complete the puzzle.

“There's nothing like it”

Hi Strands fans. A nice easy one here. What else can the theme of "There's nothing like it" mean except that something is unique?
With that in mind, I looked for the letter 'Q' and found it in the top-right corner to spell UNIQUE.
The spangram of ONEOFAKIND down the middle followed, which cordoned off the word EXCLUSIVE in the bottom-right corner.
Four answers were left to find on the other side of the board. I found SPECIAL in the bottom-left corner, with SOLE at the very top.
Two words were left in the middle. ONLY was at the bottom, with SINGULAR above it to complete the puzzle.
