Last week, the House of Representatives’ Children and Youth Committee advanced HB 2037, which would expand pharmacy’s ability to immunize children. The bill would allow pharmacists to administer ACIP vaccines to kids aged 5 years and older and allow pharmacy technicians to immunize children aged 8 years and older for flu and COVID. NACDS has been actively engaged in advocacy on the bill. The bill is now eligible for a vote by the full Senate.
