More than one in ten care home workers across Stockton had declined covid jabs as of last week.
FIGURES have shown more than one in ten care home workers across Stockton had declined covid jabs as of last week. Vaccines are being rolled out across Teesside in an effort to give jabs to the top four priority groups by February 15. Data from Stockton Council showed the take up at care homes across the borough had seen 88% of residents jabbed with just 2% declining a vaccine up to January 21. However, statistics showed 11% of home staff had turned down a covid vaccine up to that date – a total of 225 workers. Having the vaccine is a choice – and health leaders have warned people may still be able to spread the illness after they’ve received a jab anyway.
