There are a surprising number of nurses that are unvaccinated (much more than Doctors, of which very few are unvaccinated).

Do you have a source for this?

Not the GP but for which claim?

Anecdotally I don't know of any physician I've met in person (my SO and most of her family are all physicians) who isn't vaccinated. I've heard of a couple through stories so it might be 1-2% in my 1st and 2nd level of connections? Meanwhile every single physician I've spoken to about it knows at least a handful of nurses who aren't vaccinated and cite pseudoscientific nonsense as the justification.

Nurses are great but the difference in bar to entry and education between a physician and a nurse is staggering.

Edit: Here is a source from a couple months ago citing 96% physician vaccination rate and <50% nurse vaccination rate: https://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2021/06/28/covid19-va...
