The bolded bit seems relevant to the clinic I attended - it was supposed to have 7 vaccinators, but only had 5. One of the staff signing people in kept saying to one angry elderly man, "we're two down", but no matter how many times she repeated it, all he did was rant loudly and at length about how absurd it was that there were only 2 vaccinators on duty.
