Allowing pharmacists to administer certain vaccines to children and adults pursuant to a vaccination protocol.

HB 2369 allows Kansas pharmacists to administer certain vaccines to patients aged seven or older (or as recommended by the CDC) under a vaccination protocol. This applies to vaccines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), excluding specific vaccines like cholera, rabies, smallpox, and any vaccine approved after January 1, 2023. The bill expands pharmacists' scope of practice for routine vaccinations without requiring physician orders for eligible vaccines. It replaces the previous pharmacy act provision with these updated rules, effective upon publication.
