Care homes have seen a massive exodus of staff here in Notts because the vaccine has been mandated and I suspect this is the same nationally. It's going to be a tough winter for social care as well as the NHS

I know of one person who has worked as a care worker for over 25yrs, and has had to leave her job! She’s now found a job looking after an elderly gentleman in his home, paid for by the family who are happy to have her even though she’s not vaccinated !

Yes, I know of several in the care home I work in alone

It isn't being made mandatory in Wales though, thankfully, as we would be left with an unsafe level of staff were those unvaccinated to be terminated, as we cannot even fill existing vacancies, especially since the pandemic

It wasn't exactly the most inviting of industries before Covid, shit terms, shit pay etc

Now it is even more of a struggle to fill posts than ever

That’s good she found another job , suspect when there is an accute shortage of care workers they will be in high demand

I think it's horrific to force someone out of their job. In 2020 we were told to clap for carers in 2021 we make them unemployed.

Totally agree Big Brother had finally arrived in 2020 , it’s not like being vaccinated stops transmission because it does not

And who will suffer? The patients. It’s awful. A sensible testing regime would be fine. The vaccine doesn’t even prevent transmission. Yes, it reduces it, but so does a sensible testing regime (by keeping people away from work when they have covid).

From “clap for carers” to “sack for carers” in 18 months. Gross.

keep on topic guys its not about right or wrong ...just how many have decided no more because of the vaxx just to build a picture of what the media is saying is right ...we are not seeing this none uptake here in the southwest as bad as media says ....

we all know care work is a job that many dont want not all carework is mimum wage and alway been hard to attract hence going abroad for staff often ....

I understand the need to protect patients. But as vaccinated people can still catch and pass on covid it seems ridiculous and pointless that vaccines are now mandatory for care staff.

I'd imagine as she is being paid privately by the gentlemans family then it is entirely up up to them who they employ regardless of vaccination status

Do I know of many? No. There aren't many unvaccinated people in general.

Do I know of some? Yes.

Reason: they have natural immunity and are generally resentful of a two tier society that isn't even based on actual immunity

As far as I know it is not compulsory or mandated however in several job roles and not just nhs staff it is a requirement of employment. Iv worked as a support worker and it was in my contract that I needed it to be offended the role, this was in 2015 so been a thing for years.

It's not unfair dismissal because contracts can be changed with reasonable notice and people were given reasonable notice. It's the same with most contracts as especially in a public health situation which this is.

People tried to take this to court to stop it going through but failed.

It's already been challenged in law and found completely lawful.

But most laws are about the majority and protecting the vulnerable above the individual. I find interesting the nobody has a problem that somebody will be sacked if they fail or refuse to provide a DBS That is also to protect the majority and the vulnerable above the individual.

It's perfectly legal. The law change required all staff that enter CQC registered homes to be double jabbed. Care in individual private properties are not affected

Everyone I know on the care sector has been at least double vaccinated, some having had boosters too. It's a wise move, when having seen the carnage of human life lost and damaged by government managed negligence in 2020 and how little they value citizens and care staff.

And I think therein lies the crux of this...

It is very obvious (just look at loads of people now meeting on Fab) that the double vaxxed are complacent and disregarding most/all other risk mitigations. Many are walking around and socialising like they are indestructible and zero risk to others. Clearly they are not!

Absolutely disgraceful that people are losing their jobs.

We have a close relative who works in a care home. They have recently had an outbreak of Covid.

7 residents and 4 workers.

All double vacinnated.

5 of those residents have died.

There are thousands of people who are asymptomatic and don't even know they have or have had the virus.

Vacinnated or not, if you have Covid, with or without symptoms, you still carry the same viral load and can therefore pass it on.

People should NOT be losing their jobs, most of which have dedicated their lives to, just because they choose not to have the vacinne.

Personally if mass exodus as mentioned not all will be anti vaxxers begs the question who would you rather have caring for your elderly and poorly parent someone who got vaccines to help themselves and in turn help those in their care.

Or someone without vaccines my view is vaccinated carers without a doubt.

But having the vaccine does not stop you getting Covid so does not stop you passing it on , so how are any safer ?

You may prefer vaccinated care workers to be caring for the elderly. But unvaccinated care workers who can test, is infinitely better than no care worker at all.

Correct. It may help a bit, but so does sensible testing. This is madness sacking people (or forcing them to resign). The patients will suffer.

Wales

A lot of medically vulnerable service users will not accept carers who have not had all their jabs, despite them being PPE’d up to the gills. It is their home and of course their right to refuse. It’s not always about the carer refusing the jab.

A lot of carers are young women who might want to start a family at some point and have concerns about taking the jab, some are just wary. It’s not always a cut and dry issue.

However, with staff shortages across all care services (domiciliary, care homes, etc) we are, I’d say, reaching crisis point.

A few advertising campaigns on the telly just won’t cut it.

Nobody has ever gone into care because it pays well. It has always been a job for those who like to “care”, who enjoy being out and about in the Community (domiciliary wise anyway) and who can work hours that (mostly) suit them.

They have brought in other changes here in Wales that mean you HAVE to be registered (for which you need an NVQ ) and you have to pay your registration fees. So basically you’re paying to be a carer. But you’re not paid an awesome wage for being a carer so folk resent that (which is fair enough!). This faff (because it is a faff let’s be honest) puts off those who maybe didn’t do so well in School who struggle with learning, it puts off those who don’t really see care as a long term career but it’s alright for a year or two, the younger carers who have finished College etc and had a guts full of studying, the more mature who may be anti learning at this stage and who don’t know the arse end of a pc, single parents who struggle to find the time to bath in peace, never mind crack on with Assignments. It all adds up to being a massive hurdle in getting staff in.

This is having a knock on effect to care packages having to be handed back which also has a knock on effect to bed blocking in Hospitals.

It’s a mess. And until Local Government gets off it’s arse and is more pro active, the Care Sector is going to be in the shit.

People can look from the outside and say “oh you just need to pay more money”. It’s really, really, not that simple. It would help, but there is so much more that needs to change, the Government and Council’s listening to the feedback from all Care Providers for a start.

I find it astonishing that the care workers and nurses who worked right through the past 18 months prioritising the people who needed them over family and friends. These are the same people who have worked without vaccination because non were available. The same people the government now choose to disregard for thier personal decisions and beliefs.

It's a national disgrace to sack people who have been the backbone of social and NHS care.

The strongest immunity is likely to be those who are fully vaccinated, including some who may have had an infection. There's no magical different immunity acquired after Covid infection. Sadly, some who get infected also acquire long term health problems. The safer option is for those who can, to get fully vaccinated, which can include after having infection, as this will build robust immunity. Boosters will strengthen this, after some waning of its strength may have happened.

Its a different situation for care staff ,they have done a great job all through the pandemic looking after very vulnerable people ,i think the government is trying to blame care sector for the covid deaths when infact it was the nhs who spread it by sending patients to homes with out testing them to clear beds ,,when mrsa was in hospitals we had to test patients on entrance to ward and before leaving. And results on discharge letter ,care staff have had no thanks from government or pay rise ,if the staff can be tested every day before entering homes then why should they have vaccine its all about freedom of choice, ...

Speaking as someone who is pro vaccine. Unfortunately it now seems clear that vaccinated people can still transmit Covid more widely that we might have hoped. Given this I feel we really need to see clear evidence that unvaccinated care workers pose a significantly greater risk to their patients to justify mandatory vaccination and the resulting loss of care workers. Covid will continue to circulate and it will find its way into care homes even if all care staff were to do the right thing.

Whilst it's true that the NHS discharged into care homes it's a fact that almost all care homes these days are private business and not one of these was MADE to accept residents without being tested or known positive.

I personally know of care homes that deliberately refused to take anyone during the early days, often receiving upwards of twenty requests daily.

Any care provider taking residents with either an unknown status, or known to be positive were, imo, negligent to the extreme.

"Care homes have seen a massive exodus of staff here in Notts because the vaccine has been mandated and I suspect this is the same nationally. It's going to be a tough winter for social care as well as the NHS

Personally if mass exodus as mentioned not all will be anti vaxxers begs the question who would you rather have caring for your elderly and poorly parent someone who got vaccines to help themselves and in turn help those in their care.

Or someone without vaccines my view is vaccinated carers without a doubt.

I'd prefer carers with the strongest immunity so that would be those that have acquired it naturally.

The strongest immunity is likely to be those who are fully vaccinated, including some who may have had an infection. There's no magical different immunity acquired after Covid infection. Sadly, some who get infected also acquire long term health problems. The safer option is for those who can, to get fully vaccinated, which can include after having infection, as this will build robust immunity. Boosters will strengthen this, after some waning of its strength may have happened. "

Pure fantasy and misinformation. But you're always on here sprouting the party line so I'm not going to convince you of anything.
