Why are healthcare workers permitted to refuse the vaccine and then continue to have contact with patients?
I AM baffled about the many ridiculous reasons why people are reluctant to take the Covid vaccine. It would be easy to say that for most people the reluctance is based on ignorance of the facts. However, the people who astonish me the most are the healthcare workers, who you would think would have no doubts about the efficacy of the vaccines. This week, I heard about one nurse from Dundee who refuses the vaccine because she is allergic to kiwi fruit. To make matters worse, her daughter, who works in a care home, refuses the vaccine because she claims to be allergic to bananas.
