http://www.independentpharmacydirectory.com/blog: new legislation allows the community pharmacist to vaccinate against pneumonia, tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, HPV infections and meningitis. And several insurance companies will cover the cost of vaccinations provided by pharmacists.
The "independent pharmacy directory" blog has not been updated since then.
But from nabp at the same time:
Effective July 1, 2013, Indiana pharmacists will be authorized to administer additional immunizations under a protocol approved by a physician. Indiana House Bill 1464, signed into law by Governor Mike Pence on April 29, 2013, allows pharmacists to administer immunizations for pneumonia, tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap), human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and meningitis, reports the Indiana Pharmacists Alliance. Previously, Indiana pharmacists were authorized to administer the influenza and herpes zoster (Shingles) vaccines under a physician protocol. The new law also authorizes pharmacist interns or pharmacy students to administer immunizations under supervision. The law is intended to make vaccinations more accessible for Indiana residents, notes the Indianapolis Business Journal.
