If you’re a healthcare worker, you could catch & spread #COVID to vulnerable patients. We are unable to protect ourselves, our patients & our colleagues this winter unless we PAY FOR A #COVIDVACCINE🚨 What a woefully, irresponsible decision by NHS England UK Health Security Agency Department of Health and Social Care!
Stephen Griffin Excluding HCWs from getting #COVIDVACCINES is one of most irresponsible, stupid things that NHS England UK Health Security Agency Department of Health and Social Care have done. I have 2 clinically vulnerable friends, 1 extremely so. Imagine how they feel going into hospitals staffed by unvaccinated HCWs. Professor Chris Whitty
Hospital beds running at 95% + capacity No functioning social care system More & more demand on general practice & at the same time time thousands of doctors not able to get GP jobs or training numbers A perfect storm, thanks Wes Streeting
Not just the disabled. To exclude NHS workforce from free vaccinations shows the profound ignorance of politicians. When staff fall ill patients suffer. Wes Streeting Keir Starmer Stephen Kinnock
So I’d be grateful if you could explain why healthcare workers are now excluded from COVID vaccination? We’re offered Flu vaccines every year bc we’re at high risk of exposure to Flu & spreading Flu. Stephen Griffin Kit Yates Independent SAGE 2/ gov.uk/government/pub…
