Dean Feldman: Vaccines Should be Mandated for Dentists and Other Healthcare Workers

In an op-ed for NJ.Com and The Star-Ledger, Dean Cecile A. Feldman writes that dentists and other healthcare workers who fail to get vaccinated are endangering patients and should not be employed in the field. Below is an excerpt. Read the full opinion piece here.

..... It shouldn’t take a state order for any healthcare worker to get the vaccine. They should have been vaccinated months ago. For a patient to contract a life-threatening illness from the very people entrusted to safeguard their health — an infection that could have been prevented by a vaccine — is not only a cruel irony but a gross violation of professional ethics. For frontline healthcare workers, I believe it is a form of malpractice.
