No such thing as no risk in a hospital at the moment. They can't exactly work from home like the rest if us. Staff sickness and isolation is seriously disrupting the NHS. Wonder if Boris has this factored in to his vaccination programme?

Re: Coronavirus
Norway urgently changes Covid vaccine guidance after 23 die in days following Pfizer jab
The European nation reported that 23 elderly people have died within days of taking the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, with 13 of those deaths said to be related to "side effects". All those who suffered supposed side effects were nursing home patients and at least 80 years old.

I would, though, love it is someone could give me a link to show that immunity via a vaccination for covid is possibly. It would certainly take away all my fears considering my immune system problems.

Depends how you define "immunity". The aim of a vaccine is that if the person gets the virus, their immune system can respond a lot quicker than a first time infection, and therefore before the person reaches the stage of being infectious to others. The fewer people able to reach the infectious stage, the fewer people they can pass it on to.

Good news.

COVID-19: Every UK adult could be vaccinated by mid-July - if these figures are anything to go by
It's hard to judge progress on the UK's vaccine rollout, but Scotland's data gives a key insight, writes Sky's Rowland Manthorpe.
For a few hours this week, we were given an insight into the closely-guarded secret at the centre of the UK's vaccination programme.
It came courtesy of the Scottish government, which published its vaccination plan on Wednesday.
The plan included detailed figures for the number of vaccines that would be supplied to Scotland by the UK each week until the end of May.
The UK government objected, saying the publication of the figures would create difficulties for the pharmaceutical companies, and the offending page was quickly removed - but not before some clever internet users were able to save a copy.

Did they die of the Pfizer jab or something else and just so happened to have had it.

Loads of positions in the NHS can be done at home. of course doctors, nurses, technicians, porters etc can’t.
But loads of back office, managerial and administrative ones can.
Same as any key sector, such as telecom. The guys in the field and operational people need to be there, but lots of the workforce can WFH.

Ah but there's PFI car parks to be filled, W H Smiths to sell crap and Costas going without customers. At Ł4 a vaccine it's good value for the economy.

According to the Kings Fund, that’s about 201k out of 1.3 million - approx. 15%...

"Of those deaths, 13 have been autopsied, with the results suggesting that common side effects may have contributed to severe reactions in frail, elderly people, according to the Norwegian Medicines Agency."

A bit like "local" in the lock down rules.

Re: Coronavirus
According to a friend working in NHS Scotland critical care, those hospitals that originally intended to use their discretion to give second doses to those already scheduled have now given up doing so. Officially it’s because they have decided to comply with national policy. The real reason is that the Pfizer vaccine is causing significant side effects in 40-50% of recipients of the second dose. Headaches, nausea, hives, all the usual, and severe enough to keep people off work for a couple of days. As you can imagine the last thing hospitals need right now is additional staff sickness. So nobody is now getting a rapid second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. I imagine that if you’re already very frail there are significant risks for you from the Pfizer vaccine.

Now, now, stop implying that I’m implying anything just to fit your skewed narrative.
201K however is “loads” and if they can WFH they should be, as per guidance.
