SECTION 1.  Section 1 of Chapter  94C112 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2012 Official Edition, is hereby amended by inserting, after section 24 the following section:-

Section 24 ½. A pharmacy intern may engage in the full range of activities conducted by a registered pharmacist provided that at all time he or she is under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist preceptor.  A pharmacy intern may administer immunizations as designated by the Ddepartment of public health provided that the intern has completed an Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education accredited immunization training program and is under the direct supervision of a pharmacist who has met all Bboard qualifications to administer immunizations.

For the purposes of this section, a “pharmacy intern” means an individual who has completed two years of academic curriculum or who has standing as a student beyond the second-year class in the undergraduate academic sequence of an approved college/school of pharmacy, and who is registered by the board to acquire, under the direction of a board-approved registered pharmacist preceptor to whom he or she has been assigned, that practical experience which is a prerequisite to examination for personal registration as a pharmacist.
