Description
Rodrigo Matheus, Klinger Soares Faico-Filho, and Nancy Bellei survey dentists on vaccination habits. Their 2026 study polled dental surgeons registered in São Paulo, Brazil. Dentists face respiratory viruses daily yet may not promote vaccines to patients. The survey asked about their own shots and their clinic behavior.
Six hundred four dentists replied out of about ninety-eight thousand invited. Their own coverage ran high for COVID shots and boosters and for hepatitis B. Yearly flu shots lagged well below the high-coverage bar. Far fewer asked patients about vaccination or checked staff records. Asking patients linked strongly to recommending vaccines, suggesting one habit feeds the other.
