SB 1214, legislation that would permit pharmacists pursuant to a statewide written protocol to independently test and treat for flu, strep, COVID, PEP/PrEP or a condition related to an emerging or existing public health threat for individuals 12 years of age and older, passed the House Health and Human Services Committee with a vote of 7-5. Also, a pharmacist may delegate the task of performing the test to a licensed staff member under the supervision of the pharmacist.
