Half of medical workers not yet vaccinated against Covid-19
NL TimesAt least half of the medical staff in hospitals has not yet been vaccinated against Covid-19, BNR reported after discussing the situation with many of the larger hospitals in the country. Despite as many as 90 percent of their employees willing to get a jab, vaccines are delivered in small quantities which has caused logistic issues for already-strained healthcare institutions. When vaccines are available, hospitals receive them in small quantities which creates “a major logistics puzzle, demanding a lot in capacity and organization within an already heavily burdened system dealing with continuous increased pressure for 15 months,” according to the ZGT hospital group in the east of the country. Stella Salden, chair of the healthcare workers union Nu'91 also said that the number of vaccinated healthcare professionals is far too small. Employees are therefore still vulnerable, thus increasing the risk of workers who are unavailable due to illness, said the hospital's vaccination program manager, Michael van der Voorden.
