MORE than 100 workers at Dorset County Hospital are still not vaccinated against Covid-19, figures suggest.
Across England, millions of people have been triple jabbed in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic – but tens of thousands of NHS staff are yet to have a first dose.
NHS England data shows 97 per cent of the 4,262 health care workers at Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust had received at least one vaccination by the end of December, meaning 115 were unvaccinated at that point.
The figures also show 4,073 workers had received two jabs – 96 per cent of staff – and 3,600 had received a booster dose (84 per cent).
In addition hundreds of workers at Dorset Healthcare are still not vaccinated against Covid-19, figures suggest.
