During this year’s legislation session, Connecticut Public Act 23-19 was passed, and pharmacists are now allowed to vaccinate children ages 12 years and up. Regulations are expected to be adopted by the Department of Consumer Protection, in consultation with the Commissioner of Public Health and the Commission of Pharmacy. While regulations and legal questions are worked through, the Department of Public Health (DPH) Immunization Program would like to assist you with enrollment in the Connecticut (Pediatric) Vaccine Program (CVP). Per CGS Sec. 19a-7f, all vaccines administered to children in Connecticut available through the CVP must be procured through the Immunization Program.
