This bill authorizes pharmacists to administer vaccine to persons six months of age or older.

There doesn’t appear to be anything in this bill the limits the administration of vaccines to influenza. There is worldwide controversy concerning vaccines including influenza and covid that shouldn’t be administered without the approval of a physician with medical history. Study shows flu vaccines can be associated with an increased long-term risk of diabetes in both rodents and humans.
