    There should be *no exceptions* mandates for flu and COVID vaccines for staff at nursing homes, who should be paid better as well. The elderly have weaker immune systems—that's a fact of life. No excuse for putting them at risk like this.https://twitter.com/HelenBranswell/status/1440724278018658309 …

    26. Even with highly effective boosters, if there's a lot of #Covid in the community & a lot of introduction into nursing homes by unvaccinated staff, boosters won't stop cases in nursing homes, #ACIP is told. Higher vax rates among staff would have a greater impact. pic.twitter.com/0a1UpSjmeF

        Aged Care workers who provide home based services should also be required to be vaccinated. They go from suburb to suburb, in and out of multiple homes in the same day, and often have to work physically close to their clients. Highly dangerous

        Recently spoke to: NH director, fully vaxxed, who contracted COVID from her 10yo daughter the week school started (so far no contact cases at her facility, thank god) RN pulling doubles on a ward with 33 LTC patients, some COVID+. It's a nightmare out there.

        A documented severe allergy to a vaccine ingredient (eggs for J&J or propylene glycol for MRSA vaccines) is the only reasonable exception.
