PHARMACISTS IN FRANCE CAN NOW PRESCRIBE AND ADMINISTER VACCINES
According to a publication in Vaccines Today, in France, trained pharmacists will be permitted to prescribe and administer vaccines.
Pharmacists played a major role in the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccines, and they've been granted permission to administer shots against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis, flu, HPV, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal B, pneumococcal, varicella, shingles, yellow fever, and rabies.
The only exception will apply to the administration of live-attenuated vaccines to immunocompromised individuals.
