Inside coronavirus intensive care unit where not one patient has been vaccinated
Every single patient admitted to a coronavirus intensive care unit in August was unvaccinated, it has been reported.
The unit at Manchester Royal Infirmary's treats those who are the most sick from the virus, with most of the patients being in their 20s to 40s.
"We've seen 30-year-olds in here with no previous medical history. There are still a lot of people passing away," said Emily Edwards, the manager of the critical care ward.
"When the patients come in to us they are usually awake and they are aware of that, and it's just the regret they've got," she says.
"You ask them why they've not had the vaccine and it's usually that they've prioritised other things like working, and just haven't had the time for it.
"That's what is quite hard to see because as they progress with the illness and get worse; the regret is there."
There have also been a number of pregnant women and mums who have just had a baby who have been admitted, and sadly, not all of them have survived.
