Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has signed HB 316 into law, which will require all healthcare practitioners to report immunizations they administer to Immunet, the state’s vaccine registry. The law was a priority of the Maryland Association of Chain Drug Stores as a precursor to expanding pharmacists’ immunization authority and will be effective Tuesday, October 1.
