Permits paramedics to administer vaccines during outbreaks of communicable diseases.

This bill (A 4109) allows New Jersey mobile intensive care paramedics to administer CDC-recommended vaccines during public health outbreaks of communicable diseases. It permits paramedics to give any available vaccine the CDC recommends for the outbreak to any patient, regardless of age (unless the CDC specifies age restrictions), while requiring them to follow CDC or state health department guidelines. Vaccines can be given under standing orders, individual prescriptions, or government-sponsored programs - not tied to specific patients. The law takes effect immediately upon passage and directly affects paramedics and public health response during outbreaks.
