No jab, No job: COVID-19 jabs to become mandatory for care home staff in England
COVID-19 vaccinations are to become mandatory for some care home staff under plans to be announced by the Government, and it is considering extending the move to all NHS staff. Workers who provide direct personal care, including any working/visiting adults (e.g. volunteers, hairdressers, tradespeople, beauticians) will have 16 weeks to get both jabs from the time regulations are approved by Parliament. Failure to have the jab means they face being redeployed away from front-line care or potentially losing their job
