Vaccine administration is another area that has seen / is seeing broad deregulation. In many states one needed a medical doctor to “prescribe” a flu shot or other vaccine. Now many states have moved to allow such “prescriptions” to be written by pharmacists and issued right there on the spot in a pharmacy. Some physician groups fought that tooth and nail… not because there was any real evidence of people dropping dead from mis-prescribed vaccines but because it was a good stream of easy revenue for their office billing insurers for giving the shot. This change was much better for consumers and for public health overall by making vaccines more readily accessible.
