Pharmacy Technician Immunization Assessment Checklist
Pharmacy technicians immunizing under the Board’s statutes/rules must complete an initial and annual documented competency assessment. Licensee’s asked the Board to provide additional guidance on the required assessment. As requested, a sample Technician Immunization Assessment Checklist template is now available on the Board’s website. The template is intended for guidance purposes only to assist licensees. Licensees should modify the template or use another assessment tool, as appropriate for your practice setting. Note: Additional federal requirements may apply to technicians immunizing under federal authorization that are not included in the Immunization Assessment template. Check federal law for compliance.
Pharmacy Technician Renewals
Pharmacy Technician Renewals will be e-mailed at the beginning of March; e-mail address and address changes should be submitted to the Board on or before February 15, 2023. Address changes can be submitted online at https://pr.mo.gov/pharmacists-coa.asp, faxed to 573/526-3464, or e-mailed to MissouriBOP@pr.mo.gov.
