Boris Backs Mandatory Vaccines for Healthcare Workers: Report - Breitbart
Jun 16, 2021 58 secs

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reportedly backed a move that would force healthcare and care home workers to take coronavirus vaccines, despite concerns over the legality of such a measure.

The UK government is set to announce its intention to rewrite the Health and Social Care Act of 2008 in order to enable the government to make coronavirus jabs compulsory for staff in elderly care homes.

A separate consultation and legislative action will be required in order to force healthcare workers in Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) to take the vaccine.

The same regional disparity exists in care home facilities, with 83 per cent of staff having received at least one dose in the country at large compared to around 66 per cent in London boroughs such as Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, and Barnsley.

A study from the BMJ medical journal in February, for example, found that at the University Hospitals of the Leicester NHS trust, some 71 per cent of white staff had taken the vaccine, compared to 59 per cent for South Asians, and just 37 per cent for black staff.

health and care staff must be supported to make an informed choice about taking the vaccine
