Centers for Disease Control Training Modules

At this time, Colorado is not requiring any specific training for dentists and dental hygienists to be able to administer vaccines. Please talk to the medical provider who is supervising you for vaccine administration to determine what training they feel is necessary before you begin.

However, CDC has put together training resources for healthcare professionals who are interested in learning more to be prepared to serve their communities in this way.
