VA number of nurses and health workers from the city of Chesterfield they received threats for vaccinating some footballers of the local soccer team last Wednesday.
According to the British chain Sky Sports, health service workers in the city have received threatening phone calls after it was learned that three players and three members of the technical corps of the Chesterfield have received the first dose of the covid vaccine.
The explanation from the club, which is active in the fifth English division, is that these people were classified as “vulnerable” and that, following the directive of the health service, the vaccines have been used “so as not to be wasted”.
However, according to Daily Mail, which was the medium that revealed the episode, the soccer players who were given the vaccine were barely 21 years old and did not belong to any risk group. What’s more, the tabloid assures that everything happened behind the back of the club’s medical services, which were even horrified by what happened.
The vaccine Pfizer, the one used by the Chesterfield, should be used within two hours after the dose pack is thawed.
According to the health service directive, if someone does not attend their appointment to get the vaccine, it can be administered to people who have less than 70 at. The complaints come because it is understood that those people, notified at the last minute, should have been health workers or carers and not soccer players.
“They were only contacted to get vaccinated after the health center exhausted any other option. The people involved in this were hoping that these vaccines would not be wasted, which would have been the case had they not been received by the players and employees,” said the Chesterfield it’s a statement.
