Pharmacists administering the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine.

Effective August 2023, the New York State Department of Health in partnership with the New York State Education Department have determined that pharmacists can administer the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine to eligible patients pursuant to patient specific and non-patient specific orders and consistent with the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendations.  This determination will remain in effect until such time as it may be rescinded by the Commissioner of Health.
