Pharmacist Vaccination Laws

About this dataset:

We're currently migrating this dataset. To interact with these data, visit our Legacy Site.

Since the 1990s, there has been a growing movement to improve access to immunization services by giving pharmacists the authority to administer vaccines.

This map explores laws that give pharmacists authority to administer vaccines and establish requirements for third-party vaccination authorization, patient age restrictions, and specific vaccination practice requirements, such as training, reporting, record-keeping, notification, malpractice insurance, and emergency exceptions.

This is a longitudinal dataset displaying laws across all 50 states and the District of Columbia between January 1, 1990 and January 1, 2016.
