The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced an amendment to the Public Readiness and Preparedness Act (PREP), which will allow for those providers whose license has expired within the last five years or who have recently retired to prescribe, dispense, and administer the COVID-19 vaccine. Retired providers or those whose license has expired within the last five years will be required to complete a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-administered COVID-19 vaccine training and will be required to undergo an on-site vaccination supervision period by a currently practicing provider. HHS is hopeful that this expansion of the health-care workforce who can administer the vaccines will assist in ramping up vaccination efforts once vaccine supply is more widely available.
