This was reported on one of the news channels earlier in the week.
About 50% of the staff at one care home had refused. Reasons given (off camera) included:
I'm pregnant and it hasn't been proven safe for pregnant women.
It's a conspiracy.
I want to wait until I know if it's safe. (multiple times)
The care home owner was interviewed on camera and basically said that he was unhappy and frustrated but there wasn't much more he could do. He'd had vaccination written into employment contracts for future employees but he couldn't force existing employees to be vaccinated or dismiss them if they refused. Even if he could dismiss them, recruiting replacements in the current situation would be virtually impossible.
