An Act amending the act of September 27, 1961 (P.L.1700, No.699), known as the Pharmacy Act, further providing for pharmacy technician and pharmacy technician trainee registration, qualifications and supervision; providing for administration of injectable medications, biologicals and immunizations, for clinical laboratory certificate and for report on pharmacy-administered vaccines; and making a repeal.
SB 1055 updates Pennsylvania's Pharmacy Act to modernize requirements for pharmacy technicians and trainees, including registration, qualifications, and supervision standards. It specifically adds provisions allowing pharmacy technicians to administer injectable medications, biologicals, and vaccines under pharmacist supervision, and requires pharmacies to report vaccine administration data. This directly affects pharmacy technicians, pharmacists, and patients receiving vaccines or medications in pharmacy settings. The bill aims to clarify roles and reporting for pharmacy-based vaccine services while maintaining pharmacist oversight.
