Gov. Andy Beshear (D) signed HB 274, sponsored by pharmacist Rep. Danny Bentley (R). The bill authorizes pharmacists to order and administer vaccines to patients aged 5 years and older under a prescriber-approved protocol. The law takes effect 90 days after the General Assembly adjourns sine die. This date will officially be set by the attorney general after April 15.
