Can a nurse administer immunizations or vaccinations based on standing orders?

0

It is within the scope of practice of the appropriately prepared licensed nurse (registered nurse or licensed practical nurse) to administer vaccines per medically approved protocols and/or standing orders. These protocols or standing orders should contain provisions to treat adverse vaccine events including, but not limited to, medication administration and emergency transfer. Mississippi has no statue that would require an individual order for vaccination or prohibit the administration of this medication in the outpatient or home settings.
