• Reduces mortality so there's a good chance they will come back to work
• Reduces transmission, making society safer as a whole

You would have to question someone working in the healthcare field who refused the vaccine, putting themselves and those around them at risk

If the vaccine reduces transmission then vaccinated people in hospital are less likely to become infected themselves - and, indeed, from what?

It's no axiom that an unvaccinated person is infected with Covid.

Personally, it seems mad not to be vaccinated - but what will do more harm? Losing thousands of medically qualified staff or the risk of becoming infected and passing Covid on to hospital patients? Especially when there are good treatments for the disease.
