Children aged 13-17 have the lowest rates of flu vaccination for any adolescent age group. Expanding the age range in CT for which pharmacists can prescribe and administer prescriptions will help to decrease this disparity. #CHWandPharmacists@GreggHaddad
Children and Young Adults in CT have much higher rates of asthma compared to the national average. Collaboration between CHW's and Pharmacists to create and monitor Asthma Action Plans will help patients and their families with managing their symptoms. #CHWandPharmacists@RepNKD
Gay and Bisexual men, especially those of color, are at a much higher risk of HIV infection than any other group. Allowing Pharmacists to prescribe PEP and PrEP in CT will reduce the rates of new transmissions due to our ease of accessibility. #CHWandPharmacists@ChrisMurphyCT
