What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates any patient age restriction for the administration of a

vaccine by a pharmacist if the vaccine is administered pursuant to the prescription

order of a physician or other prescribing practitioner issued within the 29 days

immediately preceding the day on which the vaccine is administered and the

pharmacist has satisfied certain education requirements.

The bill also provides that a pharmacist or a pharmacy student under the direct

supervision of a pharmacist may administer any vaccine that is listed in the

immunization schedules published by the federal Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention and any vaccine not so listed if administered pursuant to a prescription

order of a physician or other practitioner or other requirements are met.
