The consultation areas were converted into unusual spaces. The profession stopped specializing to be the support of many. The hustle became more intense than normal. The workers of the 3 de Octubre Provincial Teaching Stomatologic Clinic, in Las Tunas, have left their chairs and work instruments to collaborate with the anti-COVID-19 vaccination health processes.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Hundreds of young people between 11 and 18 years of age have passed through that medical institution in recent days to begin their vaccination scheme with “Soberana 02,” among the more than 40 thousand that have benefited from last month throughout the province. They will come again in 28 days, to receive the second dose; and then, in the same period, they will complete the third of their protection scheme against SARS-CoV-2, with “Soberana Plus.”

There, they will be received, again and again, by those specialists -the stomatologists- who welcome, watch over the organization in each prior consultation, the time of the injection, and then wait for epidemiological surveillance for an hour in the spacious rooms of that facility, which are now used for these purposes. They accompany the doctors and nurses from Primary Health Care in charge of this task.

Stomatology shows how humane the profession is. Those who look after the oral health of those same young people that have been going there since last month, this time for their vaccination, support them so that the confrontation against COVID-19 progresses smoothly. They are comprehensive professionals, linked to community health Las Tunas.

Every October 3 is the Day of the Cuban Dentist, set to officially thank an essential discipline within the Medical Sciences in the nation. This day is remembered as the first congress of the specialty, in 1917, in which the Latin American Dental Federation (FOLA) was constituted.
