Governor Lamont signs 85th executive order to mitigate the spread of

t-Executive-Orders/Executive-Order-No-9Q.pdf>  enacts the following
provisions:

*	Administration of COVID-19 vaccine by licensed pharmacists:
Authorizes licensed pharmacists to administer any coronavirus vaccine that
has been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration under certain
conditions, as well as administer influenza vaccines to children aged 10-17.
*	Reporting of influenza vaccine administration to patients younger
than 18: Requires any pharmacist who administers an influenza vaccine to any
patient under the age of 18 and obtains the vaccine through the Connecticut
Vaccine Program to electronically report the information about the
administration of the vaccine to the Department of Public Health's
immunization registry.
*	Out-of-network COVID-19 immunization: Caps the amount that providers
may charge to administer COVID-19 vaccines, to ensure that no one is
required to pay out-of-pocket costs for the vaccine.
