Hi, I have COPD plus other conditions. I, come under being clinicly vulnerable. I am Disabled and house bound and 90% bed bound. I, am 64.
I, have 2 questions really.......
I, have a daily, agency Carer. I, have just had a letter from the NHS about having my Vaccination Firstly, I understand, I am to be offered the Oxford Vaccine. Despite what the World Health Organisation have just said.
I have read so much about the Oxford one. Not offering much protection against the new varients. That, makes me nervous. But, do we have any choice on the Vaccination we have?
My other question relates to all Carers. Care home Carers are being offered the Vaccine. And the Care in the community Carers.
BUT, it is not compulsory. So, what can the impact be of those who don't want it?? I do know of Carers that won't have it? Their jobs are not at risk. But, what about the risk to their clients?? I, suppose, we could choose to only have a Carer who, HAS HAD the Vaccination? Although, If it's a Family Carer. That raises another question.
I, also, heard yesterday, that in the future. Like having a flu jab. We can have a Covid vaccination as well.
