OAR 855-102-0130. Amendment of Vaccine Protocol Rules to Adopt ACIP Recommendations

Pursuant to ORS 689.645(5), the board delegates to the Board President the limited authority to amend the board’s vaccine protocols in OAR 855-115-0345 to adopt recommendations issued by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) adopted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) except for vaccine protocols excluded by the Board. The Board President may further delegate this authority to board staff. ORS 689.649 does not apply to rule amendments made pursuant to the delegation of authority in this rule because those amendments are required and the board’s only course of action.
