Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. 32 MRSA §13831, sub-§1, as enacted by PL 2009, c. 308, §3, is amended to read:
 
1. Administration of influenza vaccines.   A pharmacist licensed in this State who meets the qualifications and requirements of section 13832 and rules adopted by the board may administer topically or by injection or by inhalation all forms of influenza vaccines, including intranasal influenza vaccines, to a person 97 years of age or older without a prescription.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill, which allows a pharmacist to administer vaccines licensed and recommended by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Current law allows a pharmacist to administer an influenza vaccine to a person 9 years of age or older. The amendment lowers that age to 7 years of age.
