The Vaccine Rollout is a Success So Far but Some are Being Left Behind

Right now, the government have to make a lot of efforts to try and reach as many nursing staff as they can. Surveys have shown that the majority of people who haven’t received or even been offered the vaccine are actually employed outside of the NHS. Of course, when you look at the 24,000 responses, you will soon see that the recent surveys that have been done by the RCN show that 85% of the respondents had at least one dose of the vaccine and that 7% of them have had both doses. This is a huge achievement for the program and by the looks of things, it would seem that nursing staff are really keeping up with their end by working hard and ensuring that people are comfortable getting it. Those who work as part of a nurse agency or even as part of a nursing recruitment agency really are doing everything they can to ensure that they are helping others to feel assured. The main issue is that 15% of respondents had not received the vaccine and the results do show that out of those who have been offered it, over 70% of them happen to work in non-NHS settings. Of course, it doesn’t matter where they worked because two out of five nursing agencies and one out of four staff had not received a vaccine at all. This is when you compare it to one out of 8 hospital workers. The RCN have been providing a lot of advice and support to those who might have been having a hard time accessing the vaccine. They are going to continue monitoring the vaccine and they are also going to be giving as much help to those who need it.
