      THREAD: The nation’s biggest immunization rollout in history is facing pushback from an unlikely source: health care workers who witnessed COVID-19′s devastation firsthand but are refusing shots in surprising numbers.http://apne.ws/No3vD8I

      Some hospital and nursing home administrators have dangled everything from vouchers for free breakfasts to a raffle for a car to straight cash payouts to get employees to roll up their sleeves.

      “It’s far too low. It’s alarmingly low.” - Neil Pruitt, CEO of PruittHealth, a nursing home chain in the South where only 3 in 10 of workers offered the vaccine so far have agreed to take it.

      The pushback comes amid the most lethal phase in the outbreak yet and it could hinder the government’s effort to vaccinate somewhere between 70% and 85% of the U.S. population to achieve “herd immunity." FULL COVERAGE: http://apne.ws/aVjFCCL http://apne.ws/V9PiY9E

          This has been reported in my State, and my thing is..callous though it may sound..is if they don't want it move on to the people that do. Holding back the vaccine to wait for these workers to make up their mind is not fair to others.

          So we are supposed to stay home to help them out, but they wont take the shots to get the pandemic over with because of their feelings? Really doesn't inspire me to take heavy precautions.

          Short of a legit medical reason, this should be mandatory for all health care workers who have the opportunity to get it.

          So then keep moving down the line to the next group. Bizarre but fine to object however your objection shouldn't delay others. Keep moving.

          If they refuse it, get a signed waiver and move on to those who do want them. If they get sick it's their fault I guess. They can always change their minds and get in line with the rest of us.

          If health workers don’t trust it, no one should.

          Most medical workers probably couldn't explain how a vaccine works
