Adds pneumonia to the list of immunizations pharmacists may administer to groups of individuals under a drug order, prescription, or physician-approved protocol, joining influenza and shingles.

Lowers the minimum age for pharmacist-administered immunizations under a protocol from 14 years to 9 years old for individuals under 18 years of age, requiring parent or guardian consent and presence.

Requires pharmacists or their designees to report immunization data to the state immunization data registry unless the patient (or parent/guardian if under 18) completes a written exemption form.

Maintains existing requirements that protocols must be physician-approved, specify the group receiving immunization, and the administering pharmacist must notify both the authorizing and primary care physicians within 14 days.
