Iowa Bill Proposed to Allow Dentists to Administer COVID Vaccine
Would you want to get your Coronavirus vaccine at the same time you re getting your teeth cleaned?
In an effort to offer widespread access to the COVID vaccines more quickly, the Iowa Dental Board has proposed a bill adding dentists and dental hygienists to the list of professionals able to administer it, which in our state currently includes doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.
According to KCCI, the President of the Iowa Dental Board said 14 other states already allow what would be proposed in House Study Bill 71 , which has been filed with and assigned to the House Resources subcommittee but no hearing has yet been set.
