Dentists, dental surgeons and dental hygienists providing Care Quality Commission regulated activities are within scope of the vaccination as a condition of deployment requirements. These requirements apply to services both privately and publicly provided.

The draft Health and Social care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regulations were laid on 9 November setting out the requirements. These regulations are subject to the affirmative procedure.
