Assembly Bill 4109, introduced in the New Jersey Assembly on April 4, 2024, would permit paramedics to administer vaccines during outbreaks of communicable diseases. A paramedic would be permitted to administer a vaccine to any patient, regardless of age, unless age restrictions are in place from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. A vaccine would be administered pursuant to an individual prescription, a standing order, or an immunization program or other program sponsored by an authorized governmental agency that is not patient specific.
