Oregon dentist gets certified to give COVID-19 vaccine

Dana Yip, DDS, has received training and certification that allows him to administer vaccinations, reports Fox's KPTV.

"That's our bread and butter," said Dr. Yip, founder of The Kids' Dentist in West Linn (Ore.). "We're supposed to be good at giving comfortable injections, so working on the arm isn't so difficult."

The pediatric dentist told KPTV that he is the 100th dentist in the U.S. to receive such certification.

"I feel like I'm part of history, that I can contribute to society and us getting back on our feet as a country again," Dr. Yip said.
