Pharmacists; Administration of immunizations, vaccines, and emergency medications, A.R.S. § 32-1974

“Pharmacists; administration of immunizations, vaccines and emergency medications; certification; reporting requirements; advisory committee; definition”
 
Arizona permits licensed pharmacists to administer immunizations and vaccines if the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the vaccine or immunization for adults or for persons traveling internationally. Licensed pharmacists may administer vaccines to children between the ages of 6 and 18 without a prescription if the vaccine is for the flu or occurs pursuant to a declared public health emergency. Pharmacists may otherwise administer vaccines to children between the ages of 6 and 18 upon receiving a valid prescription order. The department of health services must adopt regulations that specify the immunizations and vaccines that pharmacists may administer with a prescription order. 
 
Pharmacists must notify a person’s primary care provider or physician within 48 hours of administering an immunization, vaccine, or emergency medication and must report adult immunizations to the state immunization registry. Pharmacists must also maintain immunization records and report information to any federal vaccine adverse event reporting system.
 
The board of pharmacy must adopt rules regarding protocols, record keeping and reporting, pharmacist certification, patient education materials, and the administration of emergency medication.
