The Board of Pharmacy’s emergency rule amends regulations under Chapter 16 to clarify standards for pharmacists to provide immunizations during the COVID-19 public health emergency. The rule removes the definition of “private space” and the requirement that the individual receiving a vaccine be seated in a chair with back support. The rule also adds vaccines approved by the FDA under the Emergency Use Authorization for COVID-19. The rule extends December 9, emergency rule and became effective April 7, and expires August 5, 2021.
