Will Specialty Practices Participate in Vaccine Distribution?

Now that the COVID-19 vaccine is being released, one of the CDC’s main goals is to vaccinate quickly. Healthcare workers, still managing coronavirus cases, are needed to administer the vaccine as well.

As a result, having enough staff on hand to give the vaccine will become an issue as distribution continues past the first phase, which includes front-line healthcare workers and residents in nursing homes, and on to the general public.

There is a need to tap into specialty practices to help in vaccine administration and distribution. Dentists in California have been given a waiver by the Department of Consumer Affairs to administer COVID vaccines authorized by the FDA.

The Role of Specialty Providers

Every state is determining how to administer and distribute the vaccines based on local conditions.  When it’s time to vaccinate the general public, getting enough providers and specialty practices on board will be essential to cover the population.

Practices will play a key role in administering coronavirus immunizations and assuring their patients that the vaccines are effective and safe.

In this period of uncertainty, when misinformation and myths spread like wildfire, people will need the reassurance of their healthcare providers to gain confidence in the process.
