Immunization Delivery
Oregon law does not place any limit on the immunizations that may be administered by a pharmacist. You are required to provide and explain current Vaccine Information Statements to patients before administering any immunization. These statements explain both the benefits and risks of a vaccine.

primary care provider. Our "essentials" include a tool kit of forms necessary for regulatory compliance in your immunization practice.
Safety
Exposure to bloodborne pathogens occurs in many ways.
Although needlestick injuries are the most common means of exposure for healthcare
workers, bloodborne pathogens can also be transmitted through contact with
eyes, nose, and mouth or through broken skin.
