The House Professional Licensure Committee will consider HB 2679 on June 20. The bill, introduced by the Majority and Minority Chairs of the Committee, represents a compromise agreement that would expand pharmacists’ immunization authority by allowing the administration of influenza and COVID vaccines down to age 5. Currently, pharmacists can only vaccinate children for flu starting at the age of 9.
Also in Pennsylvania, the Board of Pharmacy has posted the agenda for the June 28 meeting. Members can access the meeting virtually and log-in instructions are included in the agenda.
