Healthcare assistants without a professional registration aren't normally under as strict obligations, but I don't think it's much of a stretch to expect it.

This is only effecting people in social care though, they are not required to take vaccinations against anything..they can be blood tested yes, but that is taking something out of someones arm, rather than putting something into the arm.
