Non vaccinated care staff losing jobs.

What disturbed me was seeing a trainee GP saying that it was against her human rights to be vaccinated

If I had to go to hospital or into care I would be very annoyed if I knew staff had not been vaccinated. As many of us have endured a restricted life because of COVID to protect ourselves and others. Getting vaccinated whether we wanted too or not.
Unless there is a certified reason why someone can't be vaccinated it's not acceptable. Staff not vaccinated should step back from the role of one to one care. I am sure they could find other occupations with less risk of infecting ill or vulnerable people. As a patient you have the right to be protected.

One care worker talking on TV said she had the jab and felt nothing. She seemed quite surprised. Another said that education was the key as many of them had been reading all sorts of anti-vax rubbish on social media, which is usually the case when someone refuses. There must be very few who have genuine medical reasons for not having the vaccine. I believe at the start they did not advise it for people who already had serious allergy issues, fair enough.

Our province has already put unvaccinated health care workers on unpaid leave as of Nov 1. There was an uptick in the numbers getting their shots in the last week. I guess they didn't want to put their money where their mouth is.

There is 98% compliance with vaccine regulations, so 2% have chosen to be unemployed rather than take the vaccine. The province has had to cancel or delay some procedures because of being short staffed (which some areas were before this mandate was finalized).

I also fail to understand their point of view, and upsetting as it is to lose health care workers, it is best for all if they are not at work.

I can’t understand people who work in the “ caring professions” not caring enough about their patients or themselves to refuse to be vaccinated.

I've just had this conversation with my husband. I bet they wouldn't think twice about having a rabies vaccination for going on an exotic holiday. Why wouldn't they get the covid 19 vaccination to keep their jobs.
The care sector has always been understaffed, it makes no sense whatsoever to forfeit your job because of it.

That's an interesting idea - might concentrate minds wonderfully
