title: Civilian health and medical program of the uniformed services (CHAMPUS)/TRICARE: inclusion of retail network pharmacies as authorized TRICARE providers for the administration of TRICARE covered vaccines. Final rule.
abstract: This final rule allows a TRICARE retail network pharmacy to be an authorized provider for the administration of TRICARE-covered vaccines in the retail pharmacy setting. The value of vaccines lies in the prevention of disease and reduced healthcare costs in the long term. When vaccines are made more readily accessible, a broader section of the population will receive them.
