S 10278 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the practice of pharmacy and administration of immunizations

This bill allows licensed pharmacists to administer flu shots to individuals who are nine years old or older. It achieves this by adding a new provision to the state's education law that explicitly grants pharmacists this authority. The law will not take effect immediately but will begin ninety days after it is officially signed into law. This change aims to increase access to flu vaccinations by expanding the range of healthcare professionals who can provide them.
