Bill > HB2369

This bill amends the Kansas Pharmacy Act to expand the scope of pharmacists' ability to administer vaccines, allowing them to order and administer vaccines approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to persons at least seven years old (or at the age recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whichever is older). The bill clarifies that pharmacists can provide these vaccinations through a vaccination protocol, with specific restrictions on certain vaccines that cannot be administered, including cholera, monkeypox, Japanese encephalitis, typhoid, rabies, yellow fever, and several others. The legislation modifies the definition of "practice of pharmacy" to include this expanded vaccination authority, and ensures that the pharmacist's actions are consistent with collaborative practice agreements and professional standards. The bill aims to enhance access to vaccination services by allowing trained pharmacists to administer a broader range of vaccines to children and adults, while maintaining important safety and procedural guidelines to protect patient health.
