Seuls quelques pays permettent aux dentistes d’administrer les vaccins contre le SARS-CoV-2

March 28, 2021 | Events, Interviews, News

GENÈVE, Suisse : Comme les autres professionnels de la santé bucco-dentaire, les dentistes font partie des catégories professionnelles les plus exposées à la Covid-19 qui fournissent un service de santé essentiel. En conséquence, de nombreux pays les ont inclus dans les groupes de vaccination prioritaires. Mais qu'en est-il de l'autorisation donnée aux dentistes d'administrer les vaccins contre le SARS-CoV-2 ? Une enquête récente menée par la Fédération dentaire internationale (FDI) a révélé que seul un tiers des pays ayant répondu autorisait les dentistes à procéder à la vaccination. À la lumière de ces résultats, la FDI a exhorté davantage de pays à permettre aux dentistes d'administrer les vaccins.
