AN ACT CONCERNING THE ADMINISTRATION OF VACCINES TO CHILDREN BY PHARMACISTS.
HB 6581 would amend state law to allow pharmacists to administer vaccines to children of any age, removing current age restrictions. This change directly affects pharmacists, children, and their families by expanding vaccine access points beyond traditional healthcare settings. The key provision modifies statute 20-633 to explicitly permit pharmacists to provide vaccinations regardless of a child's age. The bill aims to increase convenience and accessibility for childhood immunizations through pharmacy-based services.
