In the healthcare community they are of a mindset where somewhere between 30% to 40% of healthcare workers are refusing to take the vaccine, now what?
Refusing, WHY? Did they already have the disease, and are giving their dose to someone else for whom the need is more urgent? Do they have underlying health conditions that precludes them from getting the shot?
Good thing that herd immunity is achieved through BOTH vaccination and getting the disease.
What is your source for this information?
I suspect a lot of this is just bad reporting. Front line workers have largely been exposed and have developed immunity already. They know that (again) the news articles implying you still need the vaccine if you've recovered aren't really true.
So they have little risk due to exposure based immunity, it frees up doses for those likely to derive more benefit and ultimately, they can always take it later if it proves safe or immunity starts to wane (after supplies reach a point where anyone can get it).
Are there some not taking it due to trust issues...probably but a poorly designed (or reported) survey can distort the results.
