FDI global survey: Majority of countries not allowing dentists to get COVID-19 vaccines
Survey also shows that half of the
responding countries have agreed to include dentists in their priority
vaccination groups
Geneva: FDI World Dental Federation recently called for more countries to enable dentists to administer COVID-19 vaccines after a survey of its members revealed the small number of countries currently permitted to do so. The survey was facilitated by FDI’s COVID-19 Task Team.
Fifty-seven member national dental associations, from across the globe, revealed that nearly two- thirds of countries had not granted permission to dentists to administer COVID-19 vaccines as part of national rollouts. In Europe, countries, where dentists are not permitted to administer the vaccine, include Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, Denmark, Slovakia, and Russia (see Table 1).
February 26, 2021 One-third of countries around the globe have granted dentists permission to administer COVID-19 vaccines as part of national rollouts, according to results from a survey released on February 24 from the FDI World Dental Federation s COVID-19 Task Team.
FDI is now calling on more countries to give dentists the greenlight to give COVID-19 vaccines. Efforts should be made to enable dentists to administer COVID-19 vaccines when possible within national legislation and regulations, and with minimal disruption to oral healthcare services, Dr. Gerhard Konrad Seeberger, FDI s president, said in a press release.
The survey was completed by 57 national dental associations from around the world.
