Students working on the pandemic frontlines are getting the Covid-19 vaccine and are absolutely buzzing about it.
While most students will have to wait months for the jab, those working in care homes, hospitals, and other frontline health jobs have found themselves at the front of the queue. And the vaccine has come as a huge relief for those students.
“Everyone is so happy to be vaccinated because it’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” said Maria Skaria, a Birmingham student working in a hospital as part of her placement. She described the situation in the hospital as “dire”, with most wards being converted to deal solely with Covid patients.
