20201223-State-EOC-SITREP-COVID-19Attached is the Greater Miami Valley EMS Council Just in Time Standing Order (JITSO) for Paramedics and Advanced EMTs for Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Since this is an IM injection, scope of practice precludes use by EMTs or EMRs.
Region 3 Regional Physicians Advisory Board (RPAB) approved use of EUA Fact Sheet materials for the JITSO. The JITSO is a checklist, derived from the Moderna EUA Fact Sheet for Providers. Dr. Marriott has approved this JITSO. There are two Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Fact Sheets for each vaccine: one for providers, and one that every vaccine recipient receives. Both are attached for your information.
Please confirm approval of JITSO use with your Medical Director. At this time, we have been told you do not need to add Moderna vaccine to your EMS Drug License. If that changes, we will let you know.
