Do you guys, as nurses, feel medical assistants can administrate vaccines safely?

Published

This question arose from the Nevada case.

In all my time, I've ONLY been vaccinated by MA's. I considered it part of their scope of practice. Of course, a physician was ALWAYS present to supervise them and help to hold down any flailing children. (We've all been there.) RN's typically staff tempoprary vaccine clinics, but MA's are usually permanent employee of their clinics.
