Wiki Flu Shot by Pharmacist

When a flu shot is given by a pharmacist, how does that get billed? Can the administration be billed? And would it be submitted under the pharmacist or does a provider need to sign off on it? I am new to flu shots being given by a pharmacist versus given in a clinic by a nurse.

Do CPT codes 78812 and 78815 include the administration of the drug used for imaging with the PET scan? The description doesn't specifically say so. And if it doesn't - would you include the administration codes from the 96XXX series for the administration of the drug? Thanks in advance!
