The Missouri COVID-19 Vaccinator Enrollment program is now open. Beginning Wednesday, October 28 at 8:00 a.m., providers will be required to utilize Missouri’s Immunization Information System, ShowMeVax, to complete the enrollment process. Tools and instruction can be found here, as is the Memorandum of Agreement form required for new providers. Questions about the enrollment process can be asked here.
Also in Missouri. Applications are now being accepted for the Rx Cares for Missouri Medication Destruction Program. Applications and a Program Guide can be found on the Board of Pharmacy website. Current program participants do not have to re-enroll. Enrollment is limited.
Also in Missouri. The Department of Health and Senior Services announced enhancements to ShowMeVax, Missouri’s web-based immunization information system. In early 2021, the current ShowMeVax daily data feeds into the enhanced ShowMeVax will cease. According to the Department, all providers wishing to continue exchanging vaccination data with the new system will need to register here. Questions about the transition can be addressed to the HL7 On-boarding team.
Lastly in Missouri. The Board of Pharmacy issued a proposed rule to adopt regulations under 20 CSR 2220-2 to establish licensing requirements and compliance standards for Class R remote dispensing site pharmacies. The rule would authorize the preparation, dispensing, and compounding of medication for patient dispensing without a pharmacist physically present at the Class R site to monitor and supervise pharmacy activities. The rule also would establish supervisory requirements. The proposal currently is in effect as an emergency rule. Comments are due November 14, 2020.
