Staff shortages due to vaccine mandates

Anyone worried about this?

Chances are it won’t have as big an impact as the news makes out, due to the majority of people being double jabbed and more people getting boosted.

If it shows that it does become a problem, whats the remedy? Take the NHS and care, for example, Its interesting to hear people say ‘i wouldn’t want an unvaxxed person treating me or mine’, but what about when the choice is taken away from you and there are not enough staff to treat people anyway?

Thoughts?

It would be interesting to see how many front line medical staff this actually impacts?

As you say the media love to hype these things up.

I’m a nurse we’re only vaccinating maybe once a week for 4 hours in our local area with 5 clinicians. Mostly staffed by extra hours rather than taking staff off routine work.

The big issue at the moment is actually the number of staff either testing positive or COVID or they are caring for their sick children.

We are already 4 nurses short anyway. We cannot recruit nurses because there are none. The ones we recruit are leaving in droves plus we were short anyway after Teresa May got the rid of the bursary. Our EU nurses left with brexit. I can’t see how it’s going to improve to be honest without increased terms and conditions for nurses and massive overseas recruitment of nurses

The sad thing is the government seem to not have a contingency plan in place for when NHS staff leave due to the mandate. My question is how are they going to cope on skeleton staff?

"The sad thing is the government seem to not have a contingency plan in place for when NHS staff leave due to the mandate. My question is how are they going to cope on skeleton staff?"

But how many will leave due to the mandate?

Its a simple enough question but no one seems to be able to answer it.

As of X date how many frontline medical staff will have to leave?

Words like many, lots, skeleton staff are all great terms for spinning a story. But how many seems to be lacking

1?

2?

1000?

100000?

Its not a hard number to find as they will need to be getting the p45s ready if it goes ahead.

Think a realistic maximum number of staff to lose due to vaccine mandates would be around 5%. Can’t see it being any more than that. Most people are sensible.

This would be a very significant number to lose on current staffing levels.

Why 5%?

Ive seen no numbers at all being banded about.

This is my point you can't judge the impact without knowing the numbers.

I could equally say realistically it will only be 3 nurses as the rest are actually office staff.

I have no evidence, you would have thought a newspaper would ask for that figure (unless it does not support their overall narrative)

OK so an itn report from November puts it at 70k.

More than 70,000 unvaccinated NHS staff will need to get the jab or risk losing their job after the government announced Covid-19 jabs would be compulsory for NHS England workers.

But they don't break it down into medical and none medical staff.

It also does not say how many are medically except from the vaccine and how many are exempt due to being none patient facing.

It’s a guess, based on estimating the number of people who are likely to be sensible and get vaccinated, and estimating the number who aren’t.

So when they lose their jobs through not being vaccinated and cannot get any unemployment benefits because they have their jobs up what they going to do then ?

Especially if they go to get another job and the employer requires their vaccine status ?

You keep throwing around the term sensible like it makes sense for everyone to get vaccinated. I have a friend, prior history of clots, can't take certain medications already, has had covid twice, yet she will lose her job for not wanting to take that risk with her health. Where is the sense in that?

For the majority of people it is sensible. In your friend’s case, if a doctor has advised them not to take the vaccine due to a personal health risk then that clearly does not apply to them.

It would also be very surprising if they are at risk of losing their job if they follow medical advice.

I call that gullible in a lot of cases but I understand through the amount of fear pumped out at the time people just thought it is the right thing to do. I am not against people having It. I am against people being forced by coersion to have it which ultimately is illegal. So to is medical discrimination. The NHS are wearing a purple ribbon in opposememt to this tyrannical rule.

A year ago next week my mum was killed by it. A carer gave it to her (she was locked down in a care home and the only people she saw were carers). I couldn't give a flying fuck if her carer was vaxxed or not. I care very much that they were infected and passed it along to her and it tortured her before it killed her.

No longer relevant for me... But I'd rather her care took a dip than she had a carer who was infected. Not sure vax status of the carer is even relevant.

The issue is that it means always being FULLY vaccinated. That means those double jabbed are classed as full anymore and would lose their job if they keep up with the tri-monthly booster program.

Thats something that is not discussed much also in terms of screening for staff. Asking staff to rely on lft. Why are there not more covid screening programmes? Shouldn't have to wait until you have symptoms to book a pcr. As we all know you can still carry covid if you're vaccinated, so regular reliable testing should certainly be a thing.

Common sense prevails subsforspanks!! The narrative of it's ok for a potentially infected vaccinated person to treat someone who is ill and pass it on, deemed as logical as opposed to a potentially uninfected person that is not vacinated to treat someone who is unwell deemed as illogical is frankly imbecilic.

Exactly this

Follow nhs100K on instagram to listen to nhs staff although I'm sure it's more than 100k now (think you can use that hashtag on twitter also). I am all for pro choice.

Staff in care homes have already lost there jobs to the same thing. Who's next after the nhs? Teachers?

and don’t forget the negative impact loosing all of these trained staff will have. Where is the logic (and science!) behind this strategy? How is this about protecting public health ? They should dig in; don’t resign and call their bluff. If you do end up getting the sack then surely there are grounds for constructive dismissal.

Excellent point curly wurly. Who indeed is next. The teacher. The nursery nurse the checkout assistant the person who cannot possibly work from home. If the jab did not stop transmission, did not stop contraction, did not cause severe adverse reactions. We yet to see the long term effects mind, . If it did those three magical things I would be all for it but it doesn't. It was sold on If,Could,Might,Should with no liability. For me I don't buy anything on those terms especially when it's a proven liar and wittmeister who has not got one single guess correct to date selling them. Support these nurses support these care workers support freedom once it's gone we will never get it back.

The bigger problem is staff absence due to the isolation rules.

Med and nursing staff already have Hep B vaccine mandates in place and no one complains about them. Not sure why this one is an issue (yes, it’s a new treatment but if there were serious side effects we would know about them by now).

In any case, non vaccinated people could surely work with non-immune compromised people who we know generally do fine with Covid. There are ways around this but the rigid approach is not helping.

People seem to forget the mess our governments had made of our health service before all this drama. Now this can be used as a smoke screen to cover up their mistakes in the run up to this.

To be fair world wide a 1000 might be possible.

I think it was close to 100 in the UK.(although which were caused and which were coincidence has never been resolved)

But the lack of balance comes when you compare that to the 100000+ killed when there was no vaccination available.

The impact of the vaccine is there for all the see (worldwide).

But you will always have those who feel that making a choice with a low risk is worse than doing nothing with a higher risk.

Doing nothing (no change) gives a naturally safe feeling, whether or not the stars back up that view.

There are a few issues with that

Would they come?

Should they come?

It feels slightly wrong to be stealing another countries health workers during a pandemic.

What I have never got my head around is why we train so few doctors and nurses (and dentists) .

We should be training more than we need maybe twice as many.

Those who qualify but don't get a job will have skills other sectors need, they will be just as qualified as a person with any other degree for office work.

That way you don't have this nonsense of permanent shortages with us needing to borrow from other countries.

For the majority of people it is sensible. In your friend’s case, if a doctor has advised them not to take the vaccine due to a personal health risk then that clearly does not apply to them.

It would also be very surprising if they are at risk of losing their job if they follow medical advice.Well they are currently seeking legal advice because that is what's happening."

So they have specifically been advised by a doctor not to take the vaccine, and as a consequence are not taking it, and are under threat of losing their job?

In answer to your second point, the risk of adverse affects from the vaccine for the majority of people are so low in comparison to the much larger risk of serious health issues from contracting Covid while unvaccinated, that most people refusing the vaccines on ‘risk’ grounds are not remotely sensible. Hope that’s perfectly clear.

That’s doesn’t make senses what you are saying as there are no medium or long term data to claim the jabs are safe. They simply don’t know that’s why people are being cautious and rightly so.

There is more usage data available on these vaccines than any others ever used in human history. The number of people ‘judging the risk’ who are actually qualified in any way to do so will be less than a fraction of 1%. So no, not sensible.

No clinical data to confirm long term safety what are you not understanding?

"No clinical data to confirm long term safety what are you not understanding?"

We already have mountains of evidence of the proven long term risks from not being vaccinated, of which death is only one. We also don’t know how serious some of the effects from Covid will prove to be over the long term. These risks are exponentially higher than any from being vaccinated.

What are you not understanding?

How can you say ‘these risks are exponentially higher than any from any being vaccinated” when there is no long term clinical data that exist on planet earth that prove these jabs are safe long term. You still don’t understand do you? You can’t accept this can you?

It appears to me that you are shutting this discussion down because you have nothing to offer.

Is it because there is no 'long term' data on the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines?

"What's the point of only jabbed staff this so called vax does not stop you form getting covid or spreading it.

It reduces symptoms, helps reduce infection and keeps people alive.

All well documented and plenty of evidence

Yip also plenty of evidence too that these experimental vaccines have killed & permanently injured 1000’s of people but we are not allowed to have an open discussion about that !!

Thats because there's no actual evidence, the vaccines aren't experimental and haven't killed and permanently injured 1000s of people.

Theres nothing to discuss.

People get 'experimental' mixed up with 'emergency use authorization' (EUA).

You claim the vaccines have not killed and permanently injured 1000s of people.

How many is it then?

I don't claim the vaccines have not killed and permanently injured 1000s of people. Theres not a shred of factual, statistical data or evidence of this whatsoever.

Have you looked?

Try VigiAccess, which was launched by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

You don’t seem to be able to understand the most basic points regarding this either, so there’s also nothing for us to discuss. Feel free to consider the discussion shut down for whatever reason you like that makes you feel better about it. Good luck.

"Anyone worried about this?

Chances are it won’t have as big an impact as the news makes out, due to the majority of people being double jabbed and more people getting boosted.

If it shows that it does become a problem, whats the remedy? Take the NHS and care, for example, Its interesting to hear people say ‘i wouldn’t want an unvaxxed person treating me or mine’, but what about when the choice is taken away from you and there are not enough staff to treat people anyway?

Thoughts? "

I'm more worried about staff shortages due to being off with the virus because that's what's actually happening right now.

The Rona act must be repealed immediately and we live with this like we do everything else. Permitting a Jabbed nurse to potentially infect a sick person is ridiculous. If the jab did three crucial things stop transmission, Contraction an hospitalization Then it's a no brainer but it fails to do so. If,Could,Might,Should is unacceptable.

Vaccinated or not, they should not be forced to do something they don't want to, in order to keep their job.

Personally, I don't care if the staff caring for me or my family is vaccinated or not, provided we get the care that's needed.

They have to yest before every shift regardless, so don't see what the problem is.

And please remember people, thus is just my personal opinion, so please respect that, don't need shit for having my own views. I respect others views and don't get on my high horse.

Just ignore them lilly if they get on their high horse especially if they have no opinion of substance just means you have touched and nerve. People like that from what I can see are the bed wetting minority the same ones who grassed on their own neighbours.

Surely that is what the 2 or 3 week lockdown was for, to prevent the NHS becoming overwhelmed.

The bonus side of it was, that businesses might get a breather from staff shortages due to them isolating.

OK, so how does that impact someone who has chosen to be jabbed ? I'm genuinely trying to get my head round that point of view
