Feds push pharmacists to boost childhood vaccination rates
Federal officials expanded pharmacists ability to vaccinate children as young as 3, urging training and integration into the Vaccines for Children program. Pharmacies like Pharmax may offer shots without a doctor's prescription, addressing lagging immunization rates caused by the Covid pandemic and access gaps in rural areas. The shift faces hurdles such as storage costs, program participation, and ensuring equity beyond wealthier populations.
