HB 4311 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate a legislative rule relating to immunizations administered by pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and pharmacy technicians.

HB 4311 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy to establish a rule (15 CSR 12) governing immunizations administered by pharmacists, pharmacy interns, and pharmacy technicians. This rule would define specific conditions and procedures for these healthcare providers to safely administer vaccines. The bill specifically approves a rule that was previously developed, modified following legislative review, and resubmitted to the State Register. The policy change formalizes the regulatory framework without altering current immunization practices or expanding provider roles.
