As a result of efforts by NACDS, the Retail Association of Nevada (RAN), and our chain pharmacy members, permanent rules passed by the Board of Pharmacy allowing pharmacy technicians to administer vaccinations last month were fast-tracked and received administrative approval in weeks rather than months. More information on the rules can be found here.

Also in Nevada. The Department of Health and Human Services, Board of Pharmacy, and Immunize Nevada will be hosting a teleconference regarding COVID-19 Vaccines on October 22, 2020, at 2 PM PT. The aforementioned state entities have stated that they appreciate the commitment of pharmacists to play a vital role in administering COVID immunizations, when available and that the goal of the meeting is to initiate a dialogue between the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services and pharmacists by providing an update on vaccine preparations and answering common questions the state has received regarding the vaccine.
