Ashie has already told you they are not priority, it’s the over 80s who never leave the island so may catch it!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes - much as I hate the expression, it has the potential to be one of the biggest cases of 'we told you so' in quite a while. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think most of us said this much earlier in this thread too! Don't any influential politicians and chief execs monitor Manxforums? Perhaps they should, more sense seems to be talked here sometimes! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why but I assumed/thought IOMSPCo crews would have been part of the initial cohort, working for a lifeline and being key workers etc. I took that as a given. Silly me. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Happier diner 911 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 2 hours ago, Andy Onchan said: So you agree then? That it would be a good idea to vaccinate IOMSPCo staff? Absolutely not. Vaccinations should be given to the most vulnerable in our society. If toy vayr from this where do you stop. Police? EJCR? Power Station? Parking controllers oh hang on we don't have them anymore, err Firemen and women, Aircrew? Postmen, Politicians? Refuse collectors? Supermarket staff? Where do you stop Load of bollocks. Keep to those who would be most likely to die. That's more important than anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But IOMSPCo staff/crew are the first people that anyone coming to the Island will make contact with, including returning patients. They are at risk much higher up the chain than Police, for example. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As has been said earlier today, it is only a couple of hundred crew. If they all have to isolate then the island's lifeline is gone. The Arrow can be brought in for freight, but what about passengers? In any case, crew are a weak link who could easily infect one of those most likely to die. Vaxing them shouldn't be a big drain on our vax resources. If Howie is 'gone into one', then he needs to look closely at the people advising him. If he has ignored them, then he needs to admit it. Do we have the Covid Advisory Committee functioning yet? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
