#### Tetraplegic woman reliant on carers fears ‘no jab, no job’ policy will force skilled workers out of ‘understaffed’ industry

> The Tauranga-based tetraplegic is reliant on her caregivers 24/7 and is fearing the worst.  
>  
> “I struggle to understand how the Government can get a mandate on health care providers, which is already amazingly understaffed,” she tells The Hui.  
>  
> “As much as I’m very pro-vaccine when it comes down to it, if I have to choose between having vaccinated carers or having skilled, passionate carers who can help me make my basic needs to survive, there’s a clear winner for me.”
