New federal move will add to list of people who can administer coronavirus vaccines

The federal government is amending rules to help broaden the list of people who can administer coronavirus vaccines, White House Covid-19 response coordinator Jeffrey Zients said Wednesday.

States have been exploring ways to temporarily license more people to give out vaccine, and Zients said the US Health and Human Services Department would act to make that easier. The hope is to speed up vaccination rates.

“HHS will amend the current Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act – otherwise known as the PREP Act – to permit doctors and nurses who have recently retired or become inactive to administer shots, and to permit anyone currently licensed to vaccinate in their state to administer shots across state lines,” Zients told a White House coronavirus briefing.

As the President said, we need to increase the number of places people can get vaccinated. And at the same time increase the number of vaccinators. This action by HHS will help get more vaccinators in the field," he added.
