Nurses not wanting the vaccine but doctors do??

[EachandEveryone]

If you are a nurse is it the same at your place? We talk about it a lot. I personally cant wait. All the doctors cant wait one consultant told me yesterday that he was “dissappointed” in our nursing colleagues only about a third of them want it. Same aa the flu jab. Hes tried to talk to us about it casually in the tearoom but people just shrug their shoulders they really arent interested. Two of them have been working from home because they wont wear masks and they wont be having the vaccine, where does that leave their jobs then I wonder?

What’s the consensus at your place?

Btw, @Tootsietootie, well done for the dig at nurses being stupid/less intelligent than doctors.
You realise that nurses now have at least a degree, if not a master (depending on their specialty)

I'm a nurse and we are all desperate to get it. Only our ward receptionist has been listening to too many conspiracy theories and wants to wait till we've hall had it and been fine. 🙄

@CaptainWentworth, I believe the guidelines should have been updated a long time ago.
But doing so means also investing (eg in air/HEPA filters) and the government isn’t ready for that. Easier to keep going like it is (and yes the cleaning of all surfaces is a pain when you know it’s not the main way of transmission)

@TonMoulin lol I was a nurse for 12 years!
