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.

Protocols and Flu Season Essentials
Check here for current pharmacist immunization protocols approved by the Oregon Department of Human Services.  Pharmacists are required to follow these protocols, as well as to report the administration of a vaccine to a patient’s 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.

FAQ
Questions and answers about Oregon's Immunization Practice.

Training
Pharmacists must receive special training approved by Oregon Health Services and the Board of Pharmacy and hold a current immunization certificate before administering immunizations. OSPA offers immunization training programs as demand warrants.
