Ontario Expanding Scope of Practice for Pharmacists and Other Health Professionals

Today, Minister Sylvia Jones announced that our government is allowing pharmacists to administer six additional vaccines and prescribe and assess a further nine common ailments. This historic expansion of their scope of practice will improve access to care and reduce pressure on the health-care system by empowering health professionals to provide care to the full extent of their training and making pharmacies a one-stop location for convenient, everyday care.
