It does have me wondering, because from what I understand, the outbreak originated with a care worker that was unvaccinated. How can something like this happen? I would have thought that ensuring all care workers are vaccinated would be a priority -- that, or this worker didn't want the vaccine, which begs the other question: should these people be working around the vulnerable? I would think not.
No, unvaccinated people should not be working around the vulnerable, and this occurrence, together with the incidents where care homes were locked down as a result of an outbreak among the staff (even though all the residents were vaccinated), is why. Management is incompetent: either they should have already put this in place as a rule, or publicly complained that they are unable to put this in place as a rule due to poorly designed health privacy and/or employment rules.
Anybody who argues otherwise is wrong because they are not thinking clearly. Nobody has a right to whatever job they want; if they want to keep the job they have to follow the safety regulations whether they like them or not.
