Comment on "Covid-19 Vaccine – Information for Unpaid Carers"
I work for Call-in home care. As a carer. I’m 62 years old, and was given flue vaccine last year as I have some health issues. I am going into vulnerable peoples homes which is a concern. Both the company and I have tried to organise to have the COVID vaccine without success. Can you help with this please so that both myself and the vulnerable I visit are protected. Thank you.
