AI Summary
This bill expands the authority of pharmacists in Iowa to order and administer certain medications and vaccines to adults by adding "epinephrine delivery systems" to the existing statewide protocols. An epinephrine delivery system is defined as a device, such as an epinephrine auto-injector (commonly known as an EpiPen) or an epinephrine nasal spray, designed for quick administration of a specific dose of epinephrine to someone experiencing or at risk of anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. This provision allows pharmacists to be a more accessible point of care for individuals who may need immediate treatment for anaphylaxis.
