“Vaccination is the order of the day” – ZWP online – the news portal for the dental industry
“The Dental Association advocates a general compulsory vaccination. For health professionals, vaccination should actually be a matter of course. If a person working in the health sector has underlying illnesses, this must be viewed on a case-by-case basis and it is up to the joint decision with the treating doctor not to have a vaccination. OMR DDr. Hannes Gruber.
Even without a legally prescribed vaccination requirement, dentists are aware of their responsibility and role model function.
“As dentists, we are aware of our responsibility towards our patients. That is why we consistently informed our employees and explained how important the vaccination is right from the start. As the Austrian Dental Association, we expressly announce a general obligation against Covid-19 and fully support this decision. In addition, we cannot and must not approve of the fact that unvaccinated colleagues and dental staff are so close to patient contact, “said the Vice-President of the Austrian Chamber of Dentists and President of the Vienna Chamber of Dentists, Dr. Bettina Schreder in conclusion.
