Bill Summary
Relative to certified medical assistant administration of immunization. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow certified medical assistants to administer immunizations to patients, under the direct supervision of a licensed practitioner. The key provisions define a "certified medical assistant" as someone who has completed an accredited post-secondary medical assisting program and is employed in a healthcare facility, and "direct supervision" as oversight by a practitioner who is present and immediately available to provide assistance and direction, though not necessarily in the same room. The bill authorizes practitioners to delegate immunization administration to certified medical assistants within the practitioner's scope of practice.
