Only a small proportion of the county's care workers decided not to have the COVID jabs when they became a required part of working care in the autumn.
The rules requiring care workers to have had COVID vaccinations in order to be able to carry on working in the sector has had little impact on staffing levels in North Yorkshire.
Richard Webb is North Yorkshire County Council's Director for Health and Adult services he says only a small proportion of the county's care workers decided not to have the jabs.
Out of twenty thousand care staff in North Yorkshire only 240 decided to leave the professions when the COVID jabs became compulsory for care workers in the autumn.
Richard Webb says that compares well to other parts of the country but says there is still a shortage of care workers in the county.
Richard says a recently launched recruitment campaign is beginning to have an effect.
