A 3892 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Permits dentists to administer vaccinations against human papillomavirus

This bill amends New York's education law to explicitly permit dentists to administer human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations as part of their practice. It directly affects dentists, who can now offer this service during routine visits, and patients seeking HPV vaccines, expanding access points beyond traditional healthcare settings. The key provision adds "the administration of vaccinations against the human papillomavirus (HPV)" to the legal definition of dental practice. The change becomes effective 180 days after the law is enacted.
