The New York legislature is considering 4 bills that would allow dentists to vaccinate.
A7855 and its companion bill S7356 would permit dentists to administer influenza, Covid, and other shots related to a declared public health emergency.
A7857 and its companion bill S7355 would permit dentists to administer vaccinations against human papillomavirus.
Each of these bills would trivialize very real vaccine risks and serious reactions by allowing dentists to administer vaccines.
Any time dentists are allowed to vaccinate, it creates significant risks. Dentists are not necessarily qualified to recognize or handle serious adverse reactions, nor are they likely to have full knowledge of patient or family history.
S7356 and S7355 are eligible for a Senate floor vote as of 5/8/2024.
Please speak up!
TAKE ACTION
Contact your New York State Senator and Assembly Member and ask them to oppose A7855/S7356 and A7857/S7355.

Calls are more effective than emails and only take a few minutes. Below is a sample script along with additional Talking Points. Use your own words when you call or email – a personal message is always more effective than a form message!
SAMPLE SCRIPT:
“Hi, my name is ____, and I am a constituent. I am calling to ask Assembly Member or (Senator) ____ to oppose A7855 and A7857 or (S7356 and S7355,) which would allow dentists to administer vaccines.
I oppose these bills because they undermine the primary doctor-patient relationship. Just like all pharmaceutical products, vaccines can cause injury and death in some people. Dentists are not necessarily qualified to recognize or treat serious vaccine side effects.
It is particularly reckless to allow dentists to give vaccines, especially when they do not have access to a person’s medical history.
As recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court – and evidenced by the $5.1 billion that has been paid by the federal government to victims – vaccines can injure and kill an individual.
I urge Assembly Member (or Senator) _______ to oppose A7855 and A7857 or (S7356 and S7355).”
You may wish to use a couple of the talking points below. Don’t copy all of them – just use them as ideas to help structure your own message.
TALKING POINTS:
- Dentists do not have enough training about all the vaccines, risks, prescreening, contraindications, and emergency interventions for reactions, nor are they necessarily instructed on reporting reactions to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System and on advising parents and patients about the statute of limitations and instructions for filing a claim with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
- When dentists are allowed to administer or prescribe vaccines, it diminishes the primary physician/patient relationship and removes critical health history screenings prior to vaccination.
- Dentists may not have lifesaving defibrillators as they do in doctors’ offices to save the lives of individuals who have an immediate life-threatening reaction to vaccines. Will dentists have the equipment and training to be able to tell the difference between cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis, and fainting and act accordingly to save the lives of individuals who react at the time of vaccination?
- Will dentists screen for allergic reactions to vaccine ingredients, such as checking for yeast allergies? Will they assess vaccine components, including checking for contraindications like fever, as stated in VIS statements? Are they knowledgeable about a person’s compromised immune system due to conditions like cancer, HIV/AIDS, or medical treatments (e.g., radiation, immunotherapy)? Additionally, will they screen for factors like easy bruising, bleeding tendencies, pregnancy, or aspirin intake and be informed about previous serious reactions to vaccines?
- America’s biopharmaceutical research companies are developing 258 vaccines. The U.S. Vaccine Market alone was $36.45 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $58.4 billion by 2024, and dentists stand to increase their profits substantially by administering various shots to customers.
- Vaccine Information Statements list many reasons why patients shouldn’t be vaccinated. It is highly unlikely that dentists have the time to ask about all the reasons not to vaccinate them.
- Allowing dentists to administer vaccines without access to a person’s medical records means that a person may receive unintended or duplicate vaccines.
- Vaccine package inserts warn of the risk of brain damage, life-threatening allergy, and death, and no one knows in advance whom a vaccine will harm. Pharmacists are not equipped to recognize nor handle serious adverse reactions.
- Vaccines are medical procedures that carry a risk of serious injury. Hundreds of thousands have reported an adverse reaction to vaccination to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The U.S. Government has paid out approximately $5.1 billion as of January 2024 to the victims of vaccine injury, per VICP Data Reports. As of 1/26/2024, There were 47,290 deaths and 2,579,111 adverse events reported to the US government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System. https://www.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/hrsa/vicp/vicp-stats-01-01-24.pdf
- Dentists will have no liability for the injuries and deaths caused by the vaccines they administer. Vaccine administrators are shielded from liability for vaccine injuries and deaths through the combination of the law passed by Congress in 1986 establishing the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and the 2011 Supreme Court Decision BRUESEWITZ ET AL. v. WYETH LLC, FKA WYETH, INC., ET AL.
- There have already been 2,602,082 Covid-19 shot adverse events and 37.061 Covid-19 shot deaths reported in the U.S. to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (per data released 4/26/24).
