Vaccinate Health Care + Social Care workers first to protect the NHS
Coronavirus is a public health emergency and numerous health care staff have already died. Dead or ill staff, quite aside from the personal loss to them and their families, can’t work to help others. It is imperative to protect all patient-facing staff from Covid by vaccinating as soon as possible.
We want you to prioritise all health care and social care workers who are in front line roles, by offering then Covid vaccines first, for the good
of the whole NHS and social care workforce and the benefits this brings to the population that they look after.
Hospital Doctors and Nurses, porters, cleaners, District nurses, Paramedics, Care home staff, GPs, Palliative workers, Social workers, health visitors... they are the backbone of the NHS and health care.
Please vaccinate them first.
