Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, 4 states–Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Oregon–authorized dentists to administer the influenza vaccine. During the pandemic, in response to the urgent need and high demand for widespread vaccinations and poor access to health care services, all US states authorized dentists to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to patients.1 The authorization of dentists to administer vaccines during the public health emergency indicated that dentists were equipped to serve as vaccinators after completing proper training, thus establishing their role in the prevention of communicable diseases.
