NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 2, 2012, the Board of Pharmacy has received the petition for declaratory statement from Angela S. Garcia, PharmD, CPh. The petition seeks the agency’s opinion as to the applicability of Section 465.189, FS., as it applies to the petitioner.

The petition requests the Board to issue a declaratory statement regarding Section 465.189, FS., as to whether training in the administration of influenza virus immunization received by interns prior to licensure as pharmacists may be accepted for certification to administer said immunizations subsequent to receipt of licensure as a Florida Pharmacist or if such training is only acceptable for certification if obtained post licensure in the form of continuing education. The request is based upon the proposition that the course work is equivalent and the only distinction is the point of delivery.

A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Mark Whitten, Executive Director, Board of Pharmacy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C04, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3254.
