Related: I was shocked when I tried to get a COVID booster in NY State and they told me they didn’t have a registered nurse on staff that day so they couldn’t do any vaccinations.

In California, all of my vaccinations have come from phlebotomists, and it seems that pharmacists can also do them here.

Why does NY State require an RN?

WA state during COVID basically authorized EMTs to administer the vaccine. I mean it's literally "find this landmark on the lateral arm, steadily insert needle into muscle tissue, depress plunger, withdraw needle, massage site, bandaid". They had to do a 30 minute "training" on it.
