Educate Caregivers and Administer Pediatric Vaccines with Confidence: Just in Time Training for Pharmacists
Note: This program is not provided for Continuing Education Credits
This “just in time” video was created to help educate and support pharmacists and their expanded role in vaccinating younger children. It is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island Pharmacists Association, the Rhode Island Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and The University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy. We encourage you to visit the CDC for any questions not answered in this brief educational video.
In another win for pharmacy practice, the DHHS issued guidance under an amendment to the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act to permit all state-licensed pharmacists and pharmacy interns under the supervision of pharmacists the ability to administer any vaccine on the ACIP-approved vaccine schedule to people ages 3-18 during the public health emergency. This went into effect on August 24, 2020.
