CDC report says 62 percent of nursing home workers refused COVID-19 vaccines
“The lower percentage of staff members vaccinated raises concern about low coverage among a population at high risk for occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2,” the report said. By Joseph Guzman | Feb. 1, 2021
Story at a glance Among more than 11,000 skilled nursing facilities that had at least one vaccination clinic between mid-December and mid-January, nearly 78 percent of residents received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That’s compared to almost 38 percent of staff. The study referred to previous polling data showing vaccine hesitancy among health care workers due to concerns about side effects and its efficacy. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests a large number of nursing home workers are not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC on Monday released national-level figures that found large gaps in vaccination efforts between residents living in long-term care facilities and the workers who care for them.

这个无症状传染真是可怕
最开始西雅图养老院爆就是work从韩国感染带去的病毒。
因为workers打了还是无法阻断传染吧？
人们的态度，在各种事情上，正呈现越来越分裂的趋势。
但是worker总是接触他们不打隐患太大了，就算普通人也应该打啊
最近看过一个新闻，说现在医院里住院的新冠阳性病人，有四分之一入院时是阴性。就是说，这些人本来去医院看别的病，在医院里被传染上的。
至于被他们照顾的老人会不会被他们传染会不会死就不关他们事了？……这样的工作人员不该在养老院上班。
老人都打了不就行了吗。
本来打疫苗就不阻止上呼吸道感染。
