AB 585

Current law authorizes dentists to administer COVID-19 and flu vaccines.

This bill authorizes dentists to administer the following vaccines: 1) vaccines listed

in the current immunization schedules recommended by the federal government;

and 2) vaccines administered pursuant to a prescription order, vaccination protocol,

or standing order. Under the bill, a dentist may administer a vaccine to a child under

the age of six only if the vaccine is administered pursuant to a prescription order and

the dentist successfully completes training that includes administering vaccines to

children under the age of six.

A dentist who administers a vaccine under the bill must update the Wisconsin

Immunization Registry established by the Department of Health Services within

seven days of administering the vaccine.
