New Hampshire

Governor Sununu (R) signed NH SB 229 into law, expanding the authority of qualified pharmacy technicians to immunize. A pharmacist, pharmacy intern, [or] licensed advanced pharmacy technician, or certified pharmacy technician, under the supervision of an on-site immunizing pharmacist may administer influenza and a COVID-19 vaccine, if available, to the public. A pharmacist, pharmacy intern, or licensed advanced pharmacy technician, under the supervision of an on-site pharmacist may administer Hemophilus influenza, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis A and B, human papillomavirus, meningococcal, pneumococcal, tetanus, and diphtheria, varicella, zoster, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), and Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccines, which have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, to individuals 18 years of age or older as ordered by an immunizing pharmacist. This law goes into effect 90 days after July 27. 

Also in New Hampshire, Governor Sununu (R) vetoed NH HB (House Bill) 1022 which would have permitted Ivermectin to be dispensed via standing order.
