Do licensed providers and others who are authorized by the DPH Commissioner to administer vaccinations in a public health emergency, have any immunity for administering the vaccinations?
Yes. Health care providers who are administering vaccinations in emergency situations are protected from personal liability for damage or injury caused while discharging their duties as long as they are acting within the scope of their practice or profession, are not acting wantonly, recklessly or maliciously, and have obtained written consent. CGS 19a-131i.
