Abstract
To help increase the vaccination rates in South Carolina, the South Carolina General Assembly enacted an amendment to the Pharmacy Practice Act that authorizes the Board of Medical Examiners to determine whether a specific vaccine is appropriate for administration by a licensed pharmacist without a written order or prescription of a practitioner. If a vaccine is approved for administration, the Board of Medical Examiners shall issue a written protocol for the administration of vaccines by licensed pharmacists without an order or prescription of a practitioner.
