A CARE worker who was dismissed for refusing to get a Covid vaccine says the sacking has left her feeling ‘worthless’.
Holly Higgins had been working as a healthcare assistant at Appleton Manor in Bredbury, Stockport, for almost four years until she lost her job.
It came following the government mandate that all care home workers in England had to be double-jabbed by November 11. The requirement applied to all care home staff except those medically exempt.
Holly, 28, was among the workers who refused to take the vaccine ahead of the deadline. She claims she submitted proof for medical exemption which was allegedly denied.
