Covid: Thousands of vaccinators get permanent NHS roles
More than 10,000 people who signed up to help deliver Covid-19 vaccinations have now taken permanent roles with the NHS in England. About 71,000 people took paid roles and thousands more volunteered to help with the programme which has now given more than 120 million doses. NHS England said they would help tackle the backlog caused by the pandemic. Kazeem Reaves Odunsi, who worked as a gym manager before becoming a vaccinator, said: "I have always loved helping people so the vaccinator role seemed like a good fit and although I don't have any clinical experience, I received training and was able to use the leadership skills and good customer service that I had learned from my previous jobs."By giving someone the vaccine I felt I was helping to improve their quality of life and bring an end to the pandemic. NHS England chief executive Amanda Pritchard said it was fantastic that 11,000 people who had helped "Deliver the most successful NHS vaccination programme in history" had decided to stay in the health service, while Health Secretary Sajid Javid said he was "Delighted".
