TLDR, if you’re used to getting your pre-or elementary schooler vaccinated against flu and covid at a pharmacy, that’s no longer an option in most states.

Since 2020, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (“PREP”) Act has provided temporary, expanded authority for pharmacists to administer vaccines during the COVID-19 public health emergency. As 2024 comes to an end, so will the final remaining authorities extended by the PREP Act authorizing pharmacists to administer COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines to individuals 3 years of age and older. In expectation of this change, state pharmacy associations have been fiercely advocating and passing legislation to make these authorities permanent in their state, ensuring patients do not lose access to these valuable healthcare services.

Proud of ASCO for addressing and highlighting abortion this morning. Because it’s healthcare. Because it affects people with cancer. And because it should be a right for everyone. Slide from Vanessa Dalton from UMich. #ascoqlty24

Pink and red states with anti DEI legislation in place or introduced. ANTI. The potential short- and long-term effects of this on healthcare, cancer care, workforce, and EVERYTHING are mind-boggling. And incredibly scary. Slide from Tawana Thomas Johnson from the American Cancer Society #ascoqlty24

Medicare coverage for care that cancer patients are receiving at end of life is seriously messed up. #ascoqlty24
