The Minnesota state Senate passed legislation on Feb. 8 that would allow dentists to administer CCP virus vaccines in a bid to accelerate their rollout.
The bill, called SF 475, amends a section of Minnesota Statutes 2020 to allow dentists who have undergone relevant training to administer both influenza and CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccines. While the statutes already allowed dentists to give flu shots to patients aged 19 and over, the amendment reduces the age to 16 and expands the scope of inoculations to include vaccines for COVID-19.
