Farmers should do all they can to encourage their staff to get their Covid vaccinations, Federated Farmers employment spokesperson Chris Lewis says.
“I know dairy farms are flat tack with calving and workforce shortages have never been worse.
But there’s nothing more important than your family’s health, and that of your staff and their families,” he says.
Chris says the sooner we get everyone double-vaccinated, the sooner we might safely take steps to getting back to where we were with travel, events, farmers’ markets and everything else.
“If your nearest urban centre has a walk-in vaccination centre, or a GP clinic is willing to take a short-notice booking, you might even send in a staff member with a few dollars to pick up a morning or afternoon tea shout for the rest of the team,” he says.
