Introduced Text

Rhode Island S2856 expands pharmacy immunizations to include routine, scheduled, or recommended immunizations for individuals aged three to eighteen.

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. This change aims to ensure better coordination and reporting of immunizations for minors.
