who knew lying to public about safety of a new drug would make them scared wolf next time around
Flu vaccine only helps the person who gets it. They can still get and spread flu.
There’s nothing shitter than healthcare professionals not getting vaccinated. Same with people getting jobs in chemists and refusing to sell contraceptives. Get in the sea.
This year the NHS has also stopped offering free COVID vaccinations to staff, despite COVID still having higher rates of mortality and long term complications than flu. I’d also wager COVID is responsible for more staff absence. It makes zero sense.
NHS staff should all be required to get all vaccines. it’s not okay to visit your GP surgery only to catch a virus off some selfish staff member. a few years ago, i had a hospital appointment, and the junior doctor was breathing all over me and she had just gotten over something. a few days later, i was laid up with a bad cold. thanks.
Don’t know about how it affects other people, but when I get the flu jab I get horrible symptoms similar to really bad flu, often headaches, muscle cramps and then hot and cold sweats all night which causes me to literally miss work. I’ve found this with other vaccines as well. Given I literally never seem to catch or notice any flu symptoms year after year regardless of getting it or not, I can see why some people may not want the jab.
Hopefully there’s a health professional or two reading this who might have some useful insights into why the reluctance.
Trying to get my flu vaccine as an NHS worker was actually very difficult. I ended up having to go to the vaccination point after a night shift and exhausted/vulnerable because I couldn’t go any other time. We are chronically understaffed, it makes it difficult to leave your immediate area of work to walk across a large hospital site to get the vaccine. Previously they had roaming vaccinators who’d come give the vaccine to you, but we didn’t get it this year.
As for COVID 6 weeks ago 5 members of my team all caught it and the NHS ended up having to pay approximately £800 extra per night to cover the shift. Is that really more economical than just giving people the vaccine?
Not surprised, some of my colleagues are antivax (idiots)
I don’t know that I mind. I’m not a healthcare worker but one of the COVID jabs delayed my period and messed up my hormones for months making me feel unwell.
The manufacturers initially denied this and then eventually did more studies and found it does have that effect.
The bigger problem is getting vaccines to all eligible elderly. It’s been a nightmare getting one for my gran because she’s now housebound even though she wants one.
I’ve seen the NHS staff now have to pay for their COVID jab. Is the flu jab free or do you also have to pay for that one?
If you work for the NHS and you are an anti-vaccination nut job, that should be grounds for immediate dismissal for gross negligence and a lifetime ban from healthcare.
If you are an anti-vaccination nut job who works in the private sector, that should be a lifetime ban from healthcare.
You’d be surprised how many people in the NHS are anti-vax, they ended up reversing mandatory Covid19 vaccines like 2 months after they announced it. They estimated 40k people left because of it and at the time they removed it 80k still weren’t vaccinated
It should be mandatory for employment. You should not get freedom of exemption when you’re directly caring for immunocompromised or vulnerable patients.
It is a personal choice of a person’s accept or refuse a vaccination.
Wouldn’t it be better risk management to just do more frequent tests of staff?
You can still have flu with a vaccine especially this year as it’s not as close to the main variety.
All the people saying it doesn’t matter will change their minds when themselves or their loved ones dies from flu during their cancer treatment.
