Compulsory vaccinations for care staff are the wrong approach
This study makes plain any talk of compulsory vaccination could damage take-up severely.
“Care workers need clear, accurate information from their employers about when and how they to get their jabs.
“If achieving maximum coverage is the goal, employers and policymakers will get better results through encouragement, reassurance and removal of any practical barriers for staff. Forced injections simply aren’t the answer.”

Medicine is a Moving Missile, Aiming for a Dangerous, Elusive Target
By HANS DUVEFELT
(Desperate times called for desperate measures.)
In the tech world, we have come to expect our devices to become outdated and obsolete very quickly. The biggest tech companies in the world didn’t even exist a few years ago. Bitcoin, a virtual currency which at least I can’t wrap my head around, seems to be more attractive than gold.
I get the sense most people embrace or at least accept the speed of change in tech.
But medical advances that occur rapidly are frightening to many people. Vaccine hesitancy, for example, involves concerns and characterizations like “unproven” and “guinea ...

Influenza vaccination and 1-year risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, pneumonia, and mortality among intensive care unit survivors aged 65 years or older: a nationwide population-based cohort study
ConclusionsCompared with the unvaccinated ICU survivors, the influenza vaccinated ICU survivors had a lower 1-year risk of stroke and a lower 1-year risk of death, whereas no substantial association was observed for the risk of hospitalization for myocardial infarction, heart failure, or pneumonia. Our findings support influenza vaccination of individuals aged ≥ 65 years.

Enhanced primary care and impact on quality of care in Massachusetts.
CONCLUSIONS: Enhanced primary care was associated with improved self-reported quality outcomes in a statewide telephone survey. A brief, 5-question module provided a novel population measure of access to enhanced primary care. This is a scalable option for other states hoping to characterize their own primary care improvement efforts through the patient-centered medical home model.

Primary Care Practices Need Help to Survive the COVID-19 Pandemic

Date: June 20, 2022.
The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has reported its biggest number of visitors in more than 2 ½ years. There’s a string of new Broadway musicals that are well-attended every night. It’s safe to shop in malls, eat out in restaurants and go to movie theaters again.
Of course, this has all been made possible by an effective vaccine against COVID-19 that was widely administered in the fall of 2021. Vaccinated citizens of the world are now confident that it’s safe to go out in public, albeit with appropriate precaut...

Telehealth ’s Missing Link: In the Rush to Implement Virtual Care, What Did CMS Leave Out?
By RAY CONSTANTINI, MD
Imagine three months from now when the predicted ‘second wave’ of COVID-19 is expected to resurge and we’re still without a vaccine. Telehealth has become the entry-point to care, widely adopted by patients both young and old. Now, when an elderly diabetic patient wakes up in the middle of the night with a dull ache on her left side and back, she doesn’t ignore the symptom, like she may have during the first COVID outbreak. Instead, she logs online to her local hospital’s website from a cell phone and accesses a simple questionnaire to report her health history and presenting symptom...

‘One job’ rule without pay pledge could plunge care staff into poverty and put residents at risk
Banning employees from working in more than one care home without guaranteeing wages will plunge thousands of low-income families into poverty, trigger staff shortages and put residents at risk, says UNISON today (Friday).
Many will suffer immediate hardship if the government goes ahead with legislation limiting workers to one care employer, without ensuring staff are supported financially, the union says.
Minimising work in multiple locations is sensible to control the spread of Covid infections, but cannot be achieved by government diktat, says UNISON.
Many care workers earn barely more than the minimum wage...

Care workers looking after sick and elderly still not getting regular Covid tests
Care home staff are still not receiving weekly Covid tests despite government promises, according to a survey published today (Wednesday) by UNISON.
One in nine (11%) employees in residential care, who look after people aged over 65 and those with dementia, say they’ve not had regular swab checks.
This fails to fulfil a government pledge that these staff would be tested every seven days for the virus.
Even those receiving regular checks are facing delays getting the results, which is in breach of official guidelines, says UNISON.
Lessons must be learned from ongoing issues with the test...

Vaccine booking system now open to frontline care workers
Frontline care workers who have not yet received a COVID-19 vaccination can book an appointment for one through the national booking service from today, in what was welcomed as “good news” by UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea.
The move was announced on Twitter last night by care minister Helen Whately and comes after a recent survey found that only 32% of home care workers had received a first dose of vaccine.
Earlier today, the Guardian reported that more than 40% of staff at the country’s largest care home provider, HC-One, had not been offered the vaccine.
Initially for a period of two weeks, all eligible ...

Ministers must end jab compulsion to prevent care home catastrophe
The government must immediately repeal ‘no jab, no job’ laws for care home staff in England to avert a staffing crisis that threatens to overwhelm the sector, says UNISON today (Saturday).
The controversial mandatory vaccination rule is pushing thousands to the brink of quitting care work and ministers are “sleepwalking into a disaster” by failing to act, says UNISON, the largest union in social care.
Care home staff have until September 16 to get their first vaccination or face the sack. Despite this fast-approaching deadline, there is no sign the government has a realistic plan to deal with the fall-out from its ...
