Posted on 19/01/2021 11:54 by RufsYes one of my daughters is a frontline nurse currently sticking a needle into some ones arm a hundred or so times per day, yes she does have some PPE but only the basic kind, so any further protection she can get e.g. the vaccine is a bonus
p.s. she has already had the vaccine

Disappointing to see the subject of Covid vaccination becoming a battleground for those don't seem to understand or value the fact that most public servants have more face to face contact with ....er....the public and that that should be a consideration in the decision as to who gets priority.

Posted on 19/01/2021 12:07 by SteveLI would have though that obvious.🤔 They will be less likely to become infected.

That is not the case. The vaccine only reduces the chance of an infected person becoming very ill and possibly dying.
It does NOT:
- Prevent infection.
- Prevent an infected person spreading/shedding the virus.
- Prevent the need to isolate if you catch it.
The experts have said this a zillion times and it is clearly not being understood. One of the reasons they are afraid that inoculated people will think it is all over and stop being careful.

Posted on 19/01/2021 11:41 by LLMWhy? Can you explain the medical need/reason?

They are dealing with anti maskers, anti lockdown, illegal parties, the public and the police are needed.
Around 20% are off sick or self isolating as with many other frontlines
Many, like myself (68) have practised limiting the risks and can do so for longer. Front line bobbies have occasionally to get physical. I don't.

Posted on 19/01/2021 12:27 by LLMAt present every public servant in a lower tier group that has an inoculation ahead of the queue will be depriving a person in more need of that treatment. Is that fair and reasonable?
