Governor Lamont signs 85th executive order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19
Governor Lamont today signed another executive order – the 85th since he enacted the emergency declarations – that builds upon his efforts to encourage mitigation strategies that slow down transmission of the virus. Executive Order No. 9Q enacts the following provisions:
- Administration of COVID-19 vaccine by licensed pharmacists: Authorizes licensed pharmacists to administer any coronavirus vaccine that has been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration under certain conditions, as well as administer influenza vaccines to children aged 10-17.
- Reporting of influenza vaccine administration to patients younger than 18: Requires any pharmacist who administers an influenza vaccine to any patient under the age of 18 and obtains the vaccine through the Connecticut Vaccine Program to electronically report the information about the administration of the vaccine to the Department of Public Health’s immunization registry.
- Out-of-network COVID-19 immunization: Caps the amount that providers may charge to administer COVID-19 vaccines, to ensure that no one is required to pay out-of-pocket costs for the vaccine.
