COVID-19 alert: Full PPE essential even when vaccinated

Full PPE and COVID-19 infection control protocols remain essential even after dental teams have been vaccinated.

That’s the message from Fiona Ellwood of the Society of British Dental Nurses (SBDN), who is keen to remind dental nurses the important of key infection control protocols following the news that those working in dentistry, along with other healthcare staff, have been prioritised for COVID-19 vaccinations.

Echoing the advice from the British Dental Association (BDA), she said: ‘Now is not the time for us to become complacent. Whilst progress is now being made with the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, we must all remember to adhere strictly to the coronavirus guidance in place. It is essential we continue to follow regulations and wear the necessary PPE.'
