If you have loved ones being cared for in nursing homes in Ohio, a report from the Ohio Health Care Association is cause for concern. Only a little more than 55% of workers in those nursing homes are vaccinated against COVID-19; and there is real concern that some of the remaining 45% will quit rather than get the vaccine.
Buckeye State nursing homes could go from one health hazard to another, as they transition from employing those who have little regard for the residents for whom they are meant to be caring that they remain unvaccinated against a virus that has proven particularly deadly to older populations, to an even greater staffing shortage than that which they now face.
The folks working in Ohio's nursing homes without being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 know full well they are putting at risk not only their co-workers and the residents who depend on them, but their own families.
There's nothing political about this, folks.
Take a look at the people around you -- even if you do not work in a nursing home -- aren't they, your family and, oh, yourself, worth doing the right thing?
