Government reportedly considering making jab mandatory for health and care workers in England
A government plan to force all NHS and care staff in England to get vaccinated against Covid-19 has been criticised as “sinister” and likely to increase the numbers refusing to have the jab.
Health unions and hospital bosses urged the NHS to continue its efforts to persuade its 1.4m strong workforce in England to get immunised rather than resorting to compulsion and “bullying” in a bid to increase take-up.
