Rhode Island S2856 amends the state's pharmacy regulations to include routine, scheduled, or recommended immunizations for individuals aged three to eighteen under the consent and reporting provisions for pharmacy-administered immunizations. The bill mandates that pharmacists notify a patient's primary care provider within fourteen days of administering an immunization. It also requires pharmacists to report all immunizations to the Department of Health within seven days of administration.
