Bill Summary
This bill provides that a pharmacy intern or extern may administer injectable medications, biologicals, and immunizations to patients by injectable or needle free delivery methods, but only under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist. Currently, a licensed pharmacist may administer certain injectable medications only if the licensed pharmacist is appropriately certified and pre-approved by the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy. Current law does not permit a pharmacy intern or extern to administer injectable medications. This bill will permit pharmacy interns and externs to administer injectable medications, biologicals, and immunizations under the direct supervision of a pharmacist licensed to administer injectable medications, biologicals and immunizations pursuant to P.L.2003, c.280 (C.45:14-40 et al.), or any regulations promulgated thereunder.
AI Summary
This bill allows pharmacy interns and pharmacy externs to administer injectable medications, biologicals, and immunizations to patients under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist who is pre-approved by the New Jersey State Board of Pharmacy to administer vaccines and related emergency medications. The bill also requires the supervising pharmacist to report any immunizations administered by the pharmacy intern or extern to the New Jersey Immunization Information System. Previously, only licensed pharmacists were permitted to administer certain injectable medications, and pharmacy interns and externs were not allowed to administer any injectable medications.
