Policy statement
Dentistry is a health care profession which has the potential to expose the practitioner to infectious diseases. Immunizations substantially reduce both the providers' susceptibility to these diseases as well as the potential for disease transmission to other dental health care providers and patients. Thus, immunizations are an essential part of the prevention and infection-control programs at the Dayananda Sagar College of Dental sciences
