Overview
A vaccine for adult Shingles was approved in 2006 by the FDA and is in use today. Yet delivery of this vaccination has not been as widespread as it could and should be. With this in mind, many hospitals and clinics are working to improve on their current approach to its distribution; at some health centers, this includes allowing pharmacists to administer the vaccine. Can this program be implemented nationwide, in accordance with local and state laws? Would this program necessitate any change in insurance coverage for providers?
