Mandatory vaccinations for workers could worsen staff shortages and hit standards of care, say providers
Care home operators have warned that mandatory Covid vaccinations for staff could worsen workforce shortages and threaten standards of care.
The prime minister, Boris Johnson, and health secretary, Matt Hancock, have reportedly agreed to legislate to require vaccinations among the social care workforce in England, after the latest figures showed that about a quarter of care staff have not been vaccinated, rising to 40% in areas of London, Manchester and Luton.
