Crosshouse More than 900 NHS staff in Ayrshire have not been vaccinated against Covid. A total of 9,635 staff have been vaccinated out of 11,170, which is equivalent to 86 per cent. Only three workers didn’t receive the non-mandatory jag it due to medical reasons. The information was released on March 31 following a freedom of information (FOI) request. NHS Scotland strongly recommend people get the vaccine. The health board said there is a “high uptake”among its employees and said 93.7 per cent of those “eligible” have accepted it. Conservative Councillor Hugh Hunter, 75, who received his second jab on Thursday (April 22) at Ayr’s Citadel, said: “It is very encouraging that 93.7 per cent of staff members offered the vaccine have taken it up. I would encourage the remaining six per cent who didn’t to reconsider their position.“
