Senator Judy Ward, RN, (R) has introduced SB 511. The bill is a joint NACDS/PACDS initiative that would update the state’s Pharmacy Practice Act to allow trained pharmacists, interns, and technicians to immunize the full CDC schedule to a person aged 3 and above.
Also in Pennsylvania, the Department of Human Services published a bulletin announcing that the COVID vaccine reimbursement rate was increased to match the revised Medicare rate of $40 per dose, effective March 15.
