Dentists Willing To Help Administer COVID-19 Vaccine

The answer may lie with dentists and eye doctors. "I must do 50 to a 100 shots a day, so that's second nature to us."

The answer may lie with dentists and eye doctors. “I must do 50 to a 100 shots a day, so that’s second nature to us,” said Dr. Peter Kulka of Hanover.

Dentists say with a minimum of training, how to store the vaccines, and how to handle the paperwork, they could take some of the load off of hospitals and clinics.
