Compulsory vaccination could see thousands of workers leave the health sector
The government made it mandatory for hospital staff and healthcare professionals to take the vaccine. Those who did not obey the new rule will be fired.
Coronavirus in Hungary is getting worse each day. Even university students were obligated to take the jab. In our former article, we informed the general public that at the University of Debrecen, everyone who studies general medicine, dental medicine, pharmacy, public health, or anybody who participates in preparatory courses had to take at least one of the two vaccines by 6 September, regardless of the students’ nationality or citizenship.
In early September, several patients and hospital staff got Covid-19 at Szent János hospital, and the hospital stopped taking up new patients for a while at the infected department. Then the opening of schools caused an issue, as many students got covid and spread the virus due to lack of testing. You can read more about this issue HERE.
No wonder that the government tried every possible solution to stop the virus from spreading. The new rule was introduced, according to which all hospital and healthcare workers are obligated to take the vaccine. Those who refuse to obey the new rule will be fired.
At the University of Miskolc and the University of Szeged, students can enter the building only if they wear a mask. This rule was necessary because the virus has been causing more issues since August. More and more people are hospitalised, and the number of patients on respirators and deceased people are growing. The problem is aggravated by hospital staff leaving the field due to their decision not to get the vaccine. – reported RTL.
Adrianna Soós, leader of Independent Health Trade Union (Független Egészségügyi Szakszervezet), told the tv channel that in smaller hospitals, 4-5 people could terminate work contracts, but in other hospitals, 15-80 employees could lose their job. The total number of dismissed employees could be 2,000-3,000.
It turns out that not only healthcare professionals such as doctors and nurses could get fired, but also other staff members. If someone does not work directly with patients but could be in contact with them, such as cleaning staff or caretakers, but in some cases even the members of the economy department, they could lose their job as well. Those who do not have proof that they refused the vaccine due to health concerns will not get dismission pay.

“The government made it mandatory for hospital staff and healthcare professionals to take the vaccine. Those who did not obey the new rule will be fired.”
Agree 100%
Vaccination saves lives.
Unvaccinated hospital workers could be infecting many sick people, causing them to die. Thos health workers that don’t comply, should be fired.
Istvan – Right completly in Agreement.
If they build there case around – Freedom of Choice – and go the – idiotic nonsensical track – of not wanting to be Vaccinated, that sees them a Minority within Citizens/Population – that don’t Concur with a Governments Policies or Laws – they should be Dismissed.
Health Workers – the variations of work this encompass in Society – in this day and age, that globally, through the ongoing presence of this noval coronavirus – Scientific Medicine Statistical Data – proves – that Vaccination/Immunization – is a life saver.
Come on Board – or if you are on Board already – in a Health Care Enviroment – and will not agree to being Vaccinated – as part of your on-going employment conditions – empty your desk or “walk the plank” – just – “Go I say in the name of God.” – and the MAJORITY of us – will not be disappointed at your Departure.
Caritás: Great post.
When you work in the health sector then there are vaccinations that are mandatory. Hepatitis being one of them. The COVID vaccine should be the same. I think the problem holding people back is the speed vaccines were made, plus people don’t necessarily want the Chinese or Russian vaccine. Patients/residents will probably already have a weakened immune system, it’s not fair on them if staff who are in close contact with them choose not to have the vaccine. In the UK if a healthcare worker hasn’t been vaccinated by mid November (I forget the date) then they’re out of a job.
I am pro vaccine but the arguments pro are getting muddied by inaccuracies. Having a vaccine does not prevent an individual from contracting covid, nor does it prevent them from infecting others. A vaccine will reduce the severity of the virus in vaccinated people and may reduce the viral load in transmission. A vaccinated healthcare worker can still infect patients..
I am pro vaccine but …..
LOL
ALL – commentators contributions to this article have valid “messages” in them.
They all are – RICH – in messages they share.
They are written humanly, compassionately and factually – that captures the times and challenges we still are in, through the presence of this novel coronavirus.
Thank-You – Commentators for your Sharing.
My sharing – besides gratitude to the commentators in writing that I have expressed, without “casting stones” an expression – that “moves” me –
“The tears from our Eyes are said :
to Water the Flowers of our Hearts.”
Some critical thinking would take all of humanity a long way ….. Why do the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn’t protect the protected in the first place
Vacc vacc vacc is all a big moneyspinning business for global Pharma.
