COVID-19 vaccine distribution.“Dentists have been on the frontlines throughout the pandemic by keeping people with dental problems out of emergency rooms,” the ODA said.The dental group said due to the nature of their work, dentists are at direct risk of contracting the coronavirus and should be on the priority list of health-care professionals to be vaccinated early.The association said it sent a letter to the province’s health minister on Dec. 4, 2020 requesting they be part of early vaccinations.
