Many states have connected pharmacists’ ability to administer COVID-19 vaccines with the recommendations set by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
Earlier this year, efforts to prepare updated COVID-19 vaccines for the fall seemed to be on schedule.

The agency endorsed these recommendations and relayed them to vaccine manufacturers, signaling action in preparing for upcoming health challenges.
