Wyoming Law Allowing Pharmacists to Give Vaccines

Last scannedOct 18, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This law allows licensed pharmacists in Wyoming to prescribe and give certain vaccines to healthy adults, while requiring a doctor's prescription for high-risk adults.

What it does

  • Allows licensed pharmacists to prescribe and give vaccines recommended for healthy adults, as authorized by the Board of Pharmacy.
  • Requires a prescription from a licensed physician for pharmacists to give vaccines to adults considered high risk.
  • Directs the Board of Pharmacy, in cooperation with the Wyoming State Board of Medicine, to adopt rules specifying which immunizations are allowed and the requirements pharmacists must meet.
  • Clarifies that the Pharmacy Act does not apply to the administration of drugs and medicines, defined as the personal distribution, injection, or application of prepared substances to a person.

Who it affects

  • Licensed pharmacists in Wyoming.
  • Adults receiving vaccines, specifically those who are healthy or considered high risk.
  • The Wyoming Board of Pharmacy.
  • The Wyoming State Board of Medicine.

Limits and unknowns

  • The law does not list specific vaccines; the Board of Pharmacy must decide which ones are allowed through rules.
  • The law specifically mentions 'healthy adults' and 'adults who are considered high risk,' implying it does not cover children or infants.
  • The specific requirements a pharmacist must meet to prescribe and administer immunizations are not listed in the bill text but will be set by the Board of Pharmacy.
