Future of health workers uncertain as thousands remain unvaccinated ahead of deadline

Thousands of unvaccinated NSW Health workers face being stood down or redeployed unless they get a jab by the end of the month, with one-in-six yet to receive their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Mandatory vaccination will take effect for school staff and early childhood educators on November 8, while hospitality workers will also require two jabs in time for the industry reopening in mid-October. NSW reported 1259 new local coronavirus cases and 12 deaths on Wednesday, as the curfew in the 12 local government areas of concern was lifted on Wednesday following advice from police and health authorities.

Western Sydney hospital workers are caring for 228 COVID-positive patients and more than 3700 patients with coronavirus in the community.

LucyCormack lucy_carroll marywardy Doesn’t seem Gladys understands the meaning of the last paragraph according to the Australian Immunisation Handbook.

Healthcare workers working for NSW Health being unvaccinated in significant numbers is a little perplexing considering that they were first in line in the vaccine rollout.

LucyCormack lucy_carroll marywardy The day the chickens come home to roost for these fraudulent politicians will be a glorious one.

LucyCormack lucy_carroll marywardy Maybe they are waiting for Pfizer? Maybe they just want what the boss had / PM had / Pfizer? It's fairly insulting that the PM got Pfizer with a 2nd dose after a few weeks, while some of us are stuck with a 2month wait for Pfizer, or 10 week Astra double dose.

LucyCormack lucy_carroll marywardy Yeh, what would health workers know about making decisions for their own health anyway... Give them choices, not mandates.

NSW Premier in 'heated' meeting with mayors from Sydney COVID hotspotsGladys Berejiklian's meeting with 12 mayors from Sydney's COVID hotspots becomes 'a little bit heated' when the topic turns to discrimination. Cumberland Mayor Steve Christou, whose LGA has recorded the second-highest number of cases in the past four weeks, said he was concerned the Premier's meeting was a 'PR stunt' and 'paying us lip service'. If infection rates are comparable, it would be fair to expect equal 'LGA' restrictions. 'He said local residents were 'sick and tired' of helicopters flying overhead' Even when not in lockdown, any time one flies over my area or even hear a siren I am concerned about criminal activity, police chase, somebody dying ... so can imagine the stress that causes ...
