It matters what state you work in. I am a pharmacy student in Iowa and by becoming certified through a training program, pharmacists and pharmacy students can give vaccinations. I would look at your specific state laws for pharmacy to see who can legally give vaccinations and what training is needed such as being certified.

Go to the APhA site, and they will have information about the program. http://www.pharmacist.com/CTP/index.cfm
They have an e-mail and phone number of people who organize the certifications. It'll take one full day to go through the course.
