Dental teams are, along with other front line healthcare staff being prioritised for COVID-19 vaccinations. 

The Chief Dental Officer has shared information to explain how the vaccination programme will be rolled out for dental teams, including both NHS, mixed and private dental providers. 

This includes information about steps you may need to take to ensure you are able to be contacted to arrange vaccination for your team. 

We are supporting the vaccination programme by working with NHS England to ensure they have the right contact details for private providers who are not registered with the NHS.  

For private providers, if your contact details we hold are up to date you will not need to do anything. If they are not up to date it is important you let us know, you can do this by submitting a notification form. 

You can find more information on how the vaccination programme is being delivered for dental teams in the latest update from the Chief Dental officer.
