1. Before administering an immunization, a dentist, dental hygienist or dental therapist

who holds a special endorsement issued pursuant to NRS 631.285 shall: (a) Provide to the patient or, if the patient is a minor and is not authorized by

law to provide consent, his or her parent or guardian, the most current Vaccine Information

Statement prescribed for the immunization by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, require him or her to

read the Vaccine Information Statement and answer any questions that he or she has

concerning the information in the Vaccine Information Statement; (b) Obtain the informed written consent of the patient, or, if the patient is a minor

and is not authorized by law to provide consent, from the parent or guardian of the

patient; and (c) Review the medical history of the patient, including, without limitation, asking

the patient or, if the patient is a minor and is not authorized by law to provide

have, past pregnancy or plans to become pregnant and any previous adverse reactions

to immunizations. 2. If a dentist, dental hygienist or dental therapist who holds a special endorsement

issued pursuant to NRS 631.285 requests a physician, physician assistant or advanced practice registered nurse to

conduct an examination and evaluation of a patient to determine whether the patient

has a medical condition that would make it inadvisable to administer an immunization,

the dentist, dental hygienist or dental therapist must rely on and act in conformance

with the conclusions of the physician, physician assistant or advanced practice registered

nurse.
