Relates to the practice of pharmacy and administration of immunizations
This bill authorizes licensed pharmacists to administer flu vaccinations to individuals aged nine years or older. It amends the education law to explicitly permit pharmacists to provide flu shots without requiring a separate physician order for this specific service. The change directly affects pharmacists by expanding their scope of practice and the public by increasing access to flu vaccinations for children (starting at age 9) and adults at pharmacies. This is a straightforward policy update that modifies existing law to allow broader flu shot availability through pharmacy settings.
