  1. Good news! Pharmacies in Pennsylvania can start giving the #covid #vaccine!

    The problem had been that state law requires that for a pharmacist to give a vaccine without a specific prescription, it has to be recommended by the ACIP or “by a competent authority”. The ACIP isn't set to meet until Sept 18.

    The solution? The PA Board of Pharmacy met yesterday and voted to add the #AAFP, the #AAP, and #ACOG to their list of “competent authorities.”

  2. Glad to hear that the #AAFP is getting ahead of this one: several leading medical groups released a statement urging HHS to leave USPSTF as it is.
