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 ?
