Ministers considering plan that would also make double Covid jabs compulsory for students staying in halls of residence
Ministers have confirmed they could force students in England to be double vaccinated to attend lectures in person or stay in halls of residence, setting the government on a possible collision course with a number of its own MPs.
Asked about the idea, first outlined in the Times, the education minister Vicky Ford did not rule it out, saying: “I think it’s really important that young people step forward for their vaccination.”
