I am currently an RN in DC but have been asked to administer flu vaccines in Maryland. I do not have a Maryland liscence and DC is not a compact state. Am I allowed to do this? Who would I need to contact regarding this?

I would have thought you would need a license for Maryland so will need to apply to the BON and meet requirements to endorse?

You can always contact that state's BON and ask.

I wouldn't consider doing it without checking with the Maryland BON, and I'm sure they'll tell you you need a MD license.
