GP := General Practitioner.
As a patient I don't want this to happen. I'm ok with nurses administering the shot, but by having an MD giving his approval first (or a "Super nurse"). At what point do you draw the line and say "this is enough knowledge, get to work"? What happens when things go wrong? How do you make sure things won't go wrong? It's not like in a lot of technological settings where if the system doesn't boot you can just buy a new one (caricature). You're dealing with the life and quality of life of a human being. Stakes are different.
