After the second round of jabs in the village all 3 of the local clinic health workers got Covid and had to isolate for 2 weeks, forcing the authorities to draft a doctor from elsewhere to cover day to day stuff at the clinic and suspend jabs. Odds are someone in the villlage passed it on while congregating for jabs.

I have always admired health workers both here and at home, and I feel for them now after 2 years of endless jabbing, they must be sick of it but keep going.
