The state Surgeon General Ralph Abraham sent a directive to state health workers on February 13, 2025, ending long-standing mass vaccination clinics and banning staff from promoting seasonal vaccines. Abraham also issued a letter to the public criticizing the state’s COVID response and public health institutions.
Also in Louisiana, NACDS submitted a letter supporting the proposed rules implementing House Bill 579 which we passed in 2024, enabling pharmacists to offer HIV prevention services.
