Hay had occasion to visit her dentist on Thursday and the dentist wondered why the government hasn't asked them to administer booster jabs to their regular patients, just to help out - tooth out to help out, so to speak. They're giving people injections on a daily basis, after all.
Now Hay's dentist is private (try finding an NHS dentist) and she thinks it would be a it of a nightmare, in the current circumstances, to provide private dentists with access to the NHS jab database; however, it's not insurmountable. For NHS dentists it should be quite easy.

I have been a volunteer vaccinator since February. The software is easy to access, each vaccinator has a user name and password and it works in a fairly straightforward way. You have to learn about the vaccines and where they can and can’t be used. The technicality would be in the drawing up which requires either a band 5 nurse or pharmiscist. There also has to be Adrenalin on hand in case of shock after the vaccination. None of these are insurmountable for a dentist. Of course the best way would be to have a volunteer vaccinator on hand in the surgery to do it. St John Ambulance trained over 23,000 vaccinator volunteers and careers.
