A growing number of health care workers across the United States are refusing to be Covid-vaccinated even though they are on the front lines of the pandemic battle.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine revealed earlier this week that nearly 60 percent of the nursing home staff has refused to receive the Covid-vaccine.
Last month, New York City authorities said that over half of the emergency medical service workers were skeptical about getting vaccinated.
The same situation is also reported in California and Texas. In Riverside County, Ca. 50 percent of nurses refused the jab. The Houston Memorial Medical Center shared that half its nurses would not receive the vaccine.
Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch described the refusal as problematic.
“Our ability as a society to get back to a higher level of functioning depends on having as many people protected as possible.”
