Yes, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) can administer injections, but their ability to do so depends on state regulations and the policies of their employing facility. Generally, LPNs are trained to give intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, including vaccinations. However, they must work under the supervision of a registered nurse or physician and adhere to specific guidelines set by the state nursing board. Always check local laws and facility protocols for specific practices.
