Pharmacist provided travel medicine: A review of state legislations on pharmacist-provided travel medications and services
Background
Pharmacists provide a variety of services in travel medicine. Legislation varies by state, which influences the level of autonomy pharmacists have in these activities. The most recent review of state legislation regarding independent prescribing of travel medicine medications by pharmacists was completed in 2018 and the number of states allowing this was relatively low.
Objectives
The objective of this review is to evaluate states that allow for independent prescribing of travel medications by pharmacists, their requirements, and the medications allowed in the legislation.
Methods
Legislation that included guidance or regulation regarding pharmacist-provided travel medicine were included for review. Bills in progress or not yet passed and regulations permitting pharmacist provision of travel medication only through collaborative practice agreement were excluded. Data were extracted from individual state board of pharmacies or state legislative websites. Two independent reviewers reviewed the legislation for inclusion and exclusion criteria and independently performed data collection. Data collected from the legislation included requirements for independent prescribing and which medications are included within the law.
Results
Within the United States, only 5 states, California, Idaho, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Oregon have regulation regarding pharmacists providing travel medication. The most recent legislation was passed by Oregon in 2024. Pharmacist training requirements, administrative requirements, and medications permitted to be dispensed all varied between states. Majority of states reference the CDC Yellow Book to outline permitted medications. Of the 5 states, none specifically required pharmacists to complete the American Pharmacist Association or the International Society of Travel Medicine travel medicine certifications.
Conclusion
This review provides an updated compilation of state-specific legislation which allows for pharmacist provided travel medicine. Highlighting states with successful pharmacist-provided travel medication provides an example for states looking to adopt similar legislation in order to help close gaps in travel care.
