[NPInfo] pharmacist and injections

[EPartinFNP at aol.com]

In Kentucky, pharmacists were successful a couple of years ago  of getting a 
law passed to allow pharmacists to administer  immunizations.

One more  thing.... What about liability? Does their malpractice
insurance cover this  service, or would they need additional coverage. 

And in our society  where we can sue for millions because our coffee is
too hot, why would they  want the liability? It doesn't seem that
profitable to me, and many local  health departments, community
organizations, and some larger employers  offer them free or at a reduced
costs.
