Potentially up to 40 percent of care home workers won’t get inoculated with CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine as the UK government rolls out its Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine programme, a leader of the sector in England said on Saturday.
Health and social care workers are one of the groups on the priority list suggested by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
“We know that between 50 and 60 percent, depending on individual services, or actually the staff, are saying that they will definitely have a vaccine and are very keen,” Nadra Ahmed, chairwoman of the National Care Association, told Misha Husain from BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
