£532,000 to rebrand this logo  That’s what the govt. spent. £532k to move a dot up and change one colour  The U.K is falling apart, we are taxed to oblivion, and half a mil is wasted on this This is FIFTEEN nurses salaries for an entire year for a job A.I could have done in 30

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!

The benefits of well-ventilated classrooms are clear, as our newly updated guidance explains. Not only do they help reduce the spread of winter infections – meaning fewer sickness absences among staff and pupils – but good indoor air quality also improves concentration and

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

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…

So positivity and hospitalisations are far higher for COVID than flu, but all we hear about is get your flu jab. Why has COVID booster eligibility been reduced so drastically and why aren’t the authorities giving the public advice on how to avoid infection?

Ok Lets talk Covid vaccine. I am a Type 1 diabetic (37 or so yrs and counting) I'm also a front line healthcare professional. Is it not a bit weird that we don't get a covid jab this year? Someone might want to consider an FOI request to determine how thos decision was made..

We don’t just have a winter crisis anymore, we have a permanent crisis. Patients in corridors. Staff breaking down. Standards falling. Doctors, nurses, patients are all paying the price for a decade of underinvestment. These are all political decisions.
