SUMMARY
This amendment removes the provision that allows a pharmacist to administer certain vaccines to a person 9 years of age or older. It allows a pharmacy intern to administer drugs and vaccines to a person 18 years of age or older under a pharmacist's direct supervision, as long as the pharmacy intern has obtained drug administration training.
