Arizona Pharmacy Day, Know Your Legislators

Here is a quick link to help you find your legislators for where you live. Type in your address AND zip code in the upper right area of the screen. This will give you your district number. Then using your district number check here for a list of legislators both senate and house. Remember you have two house representatives.

Also, to recap the top issues Arizona pharmacy is focusing on for Pharmacy Day:
1. Immunizations of children 6-17: influenza w/o prescription; other vaccinations w/ prescription
2. Student pharmacists who are certified in vaccination may vaccinate under the supervision of a vaccination certified pharmacist.
3. Improve pharmacist's scope of practice by being able to prescribe via collaboration with physician(s).
