Permits emergency medical technicians to administer certain vaccines during certain declared public health emergencies.

This bill allows emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in New Jersey to administer specific vaccines during declared public health emergencies involving infectious disease outbreaks. To qualify, EMTs must be certified by the state Department of Health (DOH), complete CDC-based training approved by DOH, and have their competency verified by a medical director. The vaccines must be recommended by the CDC for the specific disease causing the emergency, and administration must follow CDC or DOH guidelines. This change applies only during active emergencies and does not alter EMTs' regular scope of practice.
