Confusion as some nursery workers given Covid vaccine, while others are turned away
Nursery staff were mistakenly told they are eligible for the vaccine
Updated
Confusion over eligibility for the Covid vaccine is causing anger and frustration among nursery workers.
After receiving guidance that they fall under the social care sector last Friday, nurseries in Greater Manchester and across the country told staff to book in using the self-referral system.
And while some managed to get their vaccine at the weekend and earlier this week, others have been turned away and told that nursery staff do not qualify.
The problem seems to have arisen from a list on the government s National Careers Service website, which features nursery managers and workers among the many roles.
