UK Covid-19: Sajid Javid supports mandatory vaccines for NHS and care staff

Sajid Javid has defended the Government's 'no jab no job' policy for NHS staff, despite his department's own projections that it will push 70,000 workers out of the health service. The Government estimates also project that the policy will only convince 20,000 of the 120,000 unvaccinated. Health unions have warned that the policy threatens to do more harm than good by exacerbating crippling staff shortages in the NHS which currently has 100,000 vacancies. Speaking on radio this morning Mr Javid said it was NHS staff's 'duty' to get the jab in order to protect patients and that the Government's request for them to get vaccinated by April 1 was 'perfectly reasonable'. His comments comes as the deadline for staff in the care sector to get vaccinated ends at midnight.
