Bill > A09060

This bill amends existing laws to broaden the scope of immunizations that licensed physicians, certified nurse practitioners, and pharmacists can administer, moving away from solely relying on recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Instead, it allows for immunizations to be administered based on regulations issued by the Commissioner of Health, utilizing generally accepted medical standards and recommendations from a wider range of professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Physicians, and any interstate body established for reviewing immunization coverage and access. This change aims to ensure that a broader set of recommended immunizations can be administered by healthcare professionals, particularly for adults aged eighteen and older, and in certain circumstances, for younger patients, while still maintaining safety and efficacy standards. The bill also impacts insurance law to ensure coverage for these expanded immunization services.
