French dentists and vets should be allowed to administer Covid-19 vaccination injections as France’s supply of doses will increase greatly next month, the health authority has said.
The Haute Autorite de Sante (HAS) said in a statement that the health ministry had asked it to recommend how to bring new categories of health staff into the vaccination campaign urgently.
“The growing supply of doses will allow vaccination at a larger scale from April and will require the mobilisation of a greater number of competent professionals to quickly vaccinate the relevant people,” the HAS said, according to Reuters.
Widening roles in this way would add about 250,000 medical staff to the vaccination drive.
