Question:
Thanks for the Code responses on this Forum.
In a pharmacy, is the room used for giving flu shots required to be wired as a patient care location in accordance with Section 517.13? We have an inspector requiring this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Arnold,
We don't want to get between you and the inspector because it is their call. However, this issue was clarified in the 2020 NEC Section 517.10(B) titled "Not Covered." List item (3) a. indicates that intramuscular injections (immunizations) are not covered by the requirements in Part II of Article 517.
Hope this is helpful.
