It's not required in England, its a Scottish rule so far

I've chosen to take the vaccine, nobody forced me.

Exactly how it should be.

I agree Kazanne

There was rightly a lot of criticism to the government for not protecting residents and staff of care homes last year.
The same re Hospitals.

Now the vaccines are available, Care staff and Hospital staff should have that fullest protection for themselves and those in their care.

I agree as you say, it just seems wrong not to want that protection of the vaccinations.

[LeatherTrumpet]

all care home residents will be double jagged and have had boosters already

[rusticgal]

It’s a tough one….it seems wrong that people who feel pressured into getting the jab so they either keep their job or be able to visit loved ones in homes etc….it’s forcing them to do something they don’t want to do or feel comfortable with.
On the other hand most of us feel we will do anything to help stop the spread of this awful virus…but we really don’t know the long term effects…short term yes…but long term no…

Me too…but it’s got to a point that those that don’t want to have to in order to keep their jobs or not see loved ones in homes

[bitontheslide]

we have to remember the outcry there was over the deaths in care homes at the start of the pandemic. If the government didn't make it mandatory for nhs and care home staff, there would be a huge backlash

This is not about “forcing people to have it”, they don’t “have” to have it but they do have to have it to work with vulnerable people. Things like this are not a strange or “new” requirement. For example you also need a Enhanced Disclosure document (to prove you’re not dodgy) to work with vulnerable people. No one is being “forced to give over an enhanced disclosure about themself” - but they do have to do it to work with vulnerable people.

They are free to not work with vulnerable people.

It is not “force”.

That simple.

If it was becoming a requirement to work in any random job then yes I can appreciate that’s a step too far, but healthcare? If you don’t believe in medical science you have no place in healthcare anyway.

[bitontheslide]

yes, thats a very good point. Think even about things like to be a life guard you need to be able to swim to a certain standard, to work as a paramedic you need to have medical qualifications. There are a huge number of jobs where there are already mandatory requirements. It's not unique at all

Rubbish, the hospital staff have until April, which suggests they're safe enough to work for another 5 months. If they were a danger they would be let go with immediate effect. I hope they all strike for the Winter until these authoritarian mandates are scrapped. Then we'll see a pandemic.

Canada have already backed down from their mandates.

I can't fathom why they would NOT want a jab. There is now enough statistical information to prove that jabs lower your risk of serious illness....dealing with sick people I would like all the protection I could. Like construction workers are not allowed on site without a hard hat, steel toe caps and high vis....

It's simple, they don't believe what they're being told.

Can you fathom how the German people followed Hitler in the 1930s and into the 1940s? Can you fathom how they executed Jews without a second thought? It was through fear propaganda, similar to this.

They've divided us and now they're going in for the conquer.
