Dentists are required to complete one CDC-hosted training course consisting of three modules, instead of the previously required four courses. The modules are self-paced and now collectively take a little over one hour to complete. It is recommended that dentists review this troubleshooting guide beforehand in order to obtain the three certificates of completion.
The free, online training modules include:
- WB4460: COVID-19 Vaccine Training: General Overview of Immunization Best Practices for Healthcare Providers
- WB4464: Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine: What Healthcare Professionals Need to Know
- WB4461: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine: What Healthcare Professionals Need to Know
- WB4470: Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine (Johnson & Johnson): What Healthcare Professionals Need to Know
Dentists who have already completed the modules and received their certificates of completion prior to CDPH’s updated training requirements do not need to retake them. Watch the CDA vaccination course for additional information.
