NH House Bill 1022 would permit pharmacists to dispense the drug ivermectin by means of a standing order, making Ivermectin available to the public without a prescription. Last week, Tennessee passed a law similar to the one proposed in NH.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a bill on Apr. 22, 2022, allowing Ivermectin to be dispensed without a prescription. The new law states, “a pharmacist, in good faith, may provide Ivermectin to a patient who is eighteen (18) years of age or older pursuant to a valid collaborative pharmacy practice agreement containing a non-patient-specific prescriptive order and standardized procedures developed and executed by one (1) or more authorized prescribers.”
The New Hampshire bill has already passed the House, and a Senate Committee advanced it for a floor vote with a recommendation to pass the bill.
There are differences, but the result is the same. People who want Ivermectin can go and get it. And as with the Tennessee Bill, pharmacists are afforded protections except for obvious negligence.
“A pharmacist or prescriber involved in the provision of Ivermectin pursuant to this section is immune from civil liability in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct for actions authorized by this section.”
Most of the New Hampshire Bill outlines protections from liabilities for Doctors, Nurses, Nurse practitioners, and Pharmacists. HB1022 also allows a pharmacy to charge a fee for consultation but prohibits anyone in the food chain “from seeking personal financial benefit by participating in any incentive-based program or accepting any inducement that influences or encourages
therapeutic or product changes or the ordering of tests or services.”

We’ve got several resources available to fight the disinformation coming from the left about Ivermectin.
- Dr. Paul Merik’s testimony before the NH House.
- “Ivermectin Story Here”
- “Ivermectin The Hidden Story, Here!”
- Peer-Reviewed: Ivermectin Resulted in a 67% Reduction in COVID Hospitalization and a 70% Reduction in COVID Mortality
The NH Bill is (I believe) due for a vote in the Republican majority State Senate next week.
