Unvaccinated nurses bring heart procedures to standstill in Sydney hospital

Ian Neil SC, a leading Australian employment and industrial law barrister, said the NSW government had not yet “been clear about what will happen” to health workers still unvaccinated by the end of the month.

St Vincent’s Hospital spokesman David Faktor confirmed an “exposure event” had occurred and two nurses had tested positive. “The two were unvaccinated – both of whom work in the CathLabs – which is a joint service of St Vincent’s Public and Private Hospitals,” he said.“The risk classification determined the level of isolation required of staff, ranging from 24 hours to 14 days.

“Not everybody has had that opportunity to have the vaccine for as long a period as others,” he said. The union’s general secretary, Brett Holmes, said he had been told about 85 per cent of nurses were now vaccinated. On September 12, 9.4 per cent of NSW respondents said they were not willing to be vaccinated, a significant drop from recordings of between 11.7 and 12 per cent in the three previous surveys. An additional 7.3 per cent of respondents said they did not know if they were willing to be vaccinated, also down on previous weeks.

lucy_carroll marywardy The insanity of this, it’s all so dumb American. And unnecessary. When will Morrison push for mandatory vaccination of all medical staff? Or, at minimum, major hospital groups? Is this in motion? Being considered? australialockdown GetVaccinated

lucy_carroll marywardy FFS. After being sent home twice from Bankstown hospital last week after 2 episode of Atrial Fibrillation because there were no beds in the cardiac ward, these nurses have just put cardiac patients at huge risk. Why the hell are they working in hospitals not vaccinated?

lucy_carroll marywardy This working while unvaccinated has to stop. France has already stood down 3000 unvaccinated health workers without pay. As a society we can no longer put at risk the health of a large numbers of people (other health workers & patients) purely to pamper to individuals.

lucy_carroll marywardy They should never be allowed to work in healthcare again. Ridiculous.

lucy_carroll marywardy Why has covid vaccine not been added to mandatory VPD? This is a failure

lucy_carroll marywardy 🙄 absolutely unacceptable & outrageous that any medical professionals treating patients already with underlying serious conditions requiring treatment & surgery are allowed to work while unvaccinated for COVID19 any nurses who refuse to VaxxUp are betraying their profession

lucy_carroll marywardy Could they not get vaccinated?

lucy_carroll marywardy How can hospitals still be permitting nurses who have not been vaccinated to continue working. Is the question never asked? It is logical all doctors and nurses and every person whoo works in a hospital must be vaccinated.

lucy_carroll marywardy And then the medical staff says they can’t be forced to get vaccinated

lucy_carroll marywardy Enough is enough. If you're an anti-vaxxer health care worker you need to sacked. Time to find another career.

lucy_carroll marywardy thanksgladys

DarylTractor lucy_carroll marywardy How do we still have unvaxxed nurses working in Sydney hospitals?! morrisonvaccinecrisis

lucy_carroll marywardy We need stop with the knee jerk isolation. Rapid antigen testing is needed so people can still work.

lucy_carroll marywardy If you are a nurse who doesn’t believe in saving lives you have chosen the wrong career

lucy_carroll marywardy Freedom you know

lucy_carroll marywardy Your headline is unnecessarily inflammatory. Vaccination does not prevent infection or spread of COVID19 , rather reduces symptoms and death for the vaccinated. Report the news, not fluster and bluster

lucy_carroll marywardy Were they from the English or non-English community?

JonesHowdareyou lucy_carroll marywardy What's the death toll from people not being able to access health care because Gladys has over run the system?

lucy_carroll marywardy How the hell is this possible at this stage? gladysb must go. GladysResign GladysMustResignNow

lucy_carroll marywardy Seriously, at this point? What an embarrassment.

Doctor visits three aged care homes in Sydney while infectious with COVID-19A doctor has visited three aged care homes in Sydney&x27;s west while potentially infectious with COVID-19 - including one facility that suffered 19 fatalities during NSW&x27;s first wave. and there we have it. Fully Vaccinated means JACK SHIT when infecting others!!! I am backwards in being near fully or partially vaccinated people as I know they are infectious while they do not understand this. If there was anyone that got vaxxed and thought it would stop them from getting sick or transmitting it, you are a goof. And no study backs up mask use. Vax doesn't equal 100% protection. The story is unravelling, here's hoping the sheep wake up...

Once complete, it can provide a half-yearly update for next few years until things have 'normalised' ready for NSW 2023 election-which is why she is saying 'too early'! GladysB Never too early. TGA should be included. GladysB Royal commission would be better served focusing on media reporting of Covid.

Why Sydney's COVID-19 lockdown could end a week early for fully vaccinated peopleAn ABC analysis shows NSW could reach its target of fully vaccinating 70 per cent of its population aged 16 and above as early as October 8 — something that would see its COVID-19 lockdown lifted a week ahead of schedule. Because of living with COVID at all cost? If it wasn't because it will affect us all - most would say 'let it rip in Sydney' Living in one of those ‘LGAs of Concern’ I’m starting to wonder if the world outside my 5km radius travel restriction really exists. So this is my COVID Lockdown Lament.
