Nevada Governor Urges Reconsideration of Flu SHot Rules
The Associated Press
(AP) — CARSON CITY, Nev. - Gov. Jim Gibbons wants the Nevada Board of Medical Examiners to seek reconsideration of a judge's ruling that voided an emergency regulation allowing medical assistants to give flu shots.
Clark County District Judge Katheen Delaney on Tuesday voided the board's Sept. 18 approval because of Open Meeting Law violations.
Gibbons says his office has been "flooded" with calls from concerned parents and doctors.
The emergency regulation would have permitted medical assistants to give flu shots and other vaccines, but prohibit them from injecting cosmetic drugs such as Botox.
