Matt Hancock makes vaccine announcement before MPs vote to approve 19 July lockdown end date
Ministers are to go ahead with plans to oblige care home staff to have coronavirus vaccinations as a condition of work and will consult on extending the obligation to NHS workers, Matt Hancock has confirmed.
Speaking in the Commons before MPs overwhelmingly agreed a four-week delay to the final easing of Covid restrictions in England, the health secretary also said such a requirement could in future be extended to seasonal flu vaccines.
