| Was surprised yesterday to find that many Ambulance crews have not all been vaccinated, nor have carers who go to housebound. They are generally younger people so way down the list. But they have families and random contact with clients or patients. It matters not what ethnicity they are, they are in the absolute front line and the risk runs both ways. The vaccine does not protect against being able to carry the virus and spread it but there are indications it is reduced. Yet employers and authorities have not really factored in the means to get these people vaccinated. Management of Care Providers are very evasive towards their staff. That's long been the case, but the Ambulance Service is part of the NHS and really ought to have had all their crews sorted by now. |
