The Great COVID-19 Vaccine Debate (Technician)
The Great COVID-19 Vaccine Debate (Technician)
What happens when pharmacy law and patient care don’t align? As a part of the pharmacy team, you are dealing with balancing legal liability and vaccine administration through ever-changing rules and regulations. Join this interactive debate with David Brushwood, pharmacist attorney, and Jake Galdo, clinical pharmacist. Together, they’ll address the legal and clinical considerations for common COVID-19 vaccine scenarios you face in practice – which can often be in conflict. After this course, you’ll feel more prepared and confident to navigate the changes COVID-19 still brings to us.
Note: This debate was recorded in September 2021. FDA and CDC continue to update and change the COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, which may affect the legal and clinical considerations presented in this episode. However, this material helps providers triage the next patient care conundrum.
Upon successful completion of this knowledge-based CPE course, pharmacy technicians should be able to:
1. Describe the current ACIP recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines
2. Discuss workplace legal liability for refusal to administer vaccines, negligence in immunization administration, and immunization mandates
3. Discuss legal liability of the PREP Act and exceptions to tort immunity
4. Evaluate the legal considerations for COVID-19 immunizations
