The example of Massachusetts: widespread vaccination of health workers pays off

Widespread vaccination of health workers is having beneficial effects in the state of Massachusetts.

“We no longer have nurses who have to be absent for several days every day because they have COVID. It relieves us enormously, to have a staff present and in good health, ”said Dr.r Julien Cavanagh, neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

The American state, to which the Prime Minister compared Quebec during his last press briefing, is not only recording a drop in the number of new infections, but also a drop in the number of cases among front-line employees.

“The first effect that we see, of the vaccination campaign, is that nearly all the health personnel have been vaccinated, and this has an almost immediate consequence on the system: the personnel are no longer sick. », Emphasizes the doctor.
