Which of the following states allowed pharmacy technicians to administer immunizations prior to the pandemic?

Idaho was one of the states that had established regulations allowing pharmacy technicians to administer immunizations before the pandemic. This progressive approach recognized the role of pharmacy technicians in the healthcare system and aimed to expand access to immunizations within the community. By allowing pharmacy technicians to administer vaccines, Idaho sought to alleviate some of the burden on pharmacists and healthcare providers, particularly during peak immunization times or public health campaigns.

In contrast, other states had more restrictive regulations that limited immunization administration to pharmacists only or required additional training or certification that may not have been in place prior to the pandemic. The policies concerning pharmacy technician roles varied significantly across states, making Idaho's stance noteworthy for its early adoption of broader responsibilities for pharmacy technicians in immunization efforts.
