Permits paramedics to administer vaccines during outbreaks of communicable diseases.
This bill allows New Jersey's mobile intensive care paramedics to administer CDC-recommended vaccines during public health outbreaks. It directly affects all paramedics in the state, authorizing them to give vaccines for communicable diseases to any patient, regardless of age (unless the CDC specifies age limits). Paramedics must follow CDC or state health department guidelines for each vaccine and can administer vaccines under standing orders, individual prescriptions, or government-sponsored programs. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
