    I don’t think the requirements for giving vaccines are that high. It’s not that difficult to do (for most vaccines at least). Most pharmacists do it as well.

      It’s not that it’s hard, but you need to have qualifications to avoid fakers.

        And to that point why not authorize a midwife to vaccinate? They’re already delivering a baby.

          These were not newborns. They were school age kids.

            Ah - yeah - I just mean that if you’re going to trust somebody to be a midwife it’s not much of a stretch to trust them to do vaccinations.

              I mean, I don’t trust midwives as it is. But their “expertise” is limited to delivering babies.

                I don’t understand what you’re objecting to. Why wouldn’t you want more people being able to distribute vaccines? Making it easier for people to get vaccinated is a Good Thing™. What “expertise” do you think is needed?

                  This woman wasn’t distrusting vaccines, she was helping people fake them.

                  More people with fewer qualifications to offer them is more opportunity for antivaxxers to help people fake vaccination.

                    I… I know.

                    And less people with qualifications to administer vaccines means fewer people vaccinated.

      A pharmacist is still a medically trained doctor, they usually have at least one RN on staff as well, and the last time I got a vaccine at Walgreens it was the RN that administered it to me.
