Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2026Contribution
Regulation 247A enables the use of an extended workforce that is legally and safely able to administer Covid-19 or influenza vaccines without the input of a prescriber, using an approved protocol. This instrument allows Regulation 247A to lapse from April 2026 and introduces a new permanent provision, new Regulation 235A. This will enable the use of an extended workforce to administer any vaccine against an infectious disease as directed by a national body under a vaccine group direction.
