Seems hasty, I thought the deadline for first vaccinations was 3rd Feb?
It goes against NHS VCOD implementation guidance too.

They were warned.. do I agree . I'm not sure however unless they can provide a proper rational argument and not some shite they have seen on Facebook I can have little sympathy

No idea mate. The above has come straight from the horses mouth though

Neither have i, but government risk assessment suggested 70,000 could leave. Thats a lot to recruit when there was reportedly 90,000+ vacancies already, regardless of role.
Some report suggested a Trust was going to lose 40 midwives, which would stop the service from running safely

It’s a peculiar one. NHS workers have to take plenty of healthcare precautions to work front of shop. The refusal to adhere to this new measure is odd. Surely if the unvaccinated staff have such limited faith in medical science it’s probably best they seek alternative employment anyway?

I honestly don’t know now. Masks, covid passports & isolation going soon, which means staff will be passing it on regardless of vacc status. I’d guess that not having enough staff effects the service more than covid sickness etc.

I think a lot of trusts have kept the isolation rules unchanged over recent months, so there's a chance they'll still have something in place once it's lifted to the public. However the more that are vaccinated means less time in isolation. I'm sick of the whole polarisation, especially when it comes to vaccines. We are years away from 'learning to live with it' because of the views of both sides. Not long ago I'd be one of the first to point a finger at the unvaccinated. Now I'm not arsed if someone is or isn't. I know that the people I don't want to get seriously ill are, it's up to others if they want to take the chance now.
There’s not one trade that there’s enough of so it’s not going to be good either way.
About 90% are vaccinated apparently so upto 10% less staff come the next financial year, not a good way of easing the burden on the waiting lists.
I wonder how things would stand on an occupational health stance if you didn’t or refuting disclose your status

That would be a temporary loss. Sacking them would be a permanent loss so I don't think that'll be the reason.
I wonder if the staff will have to hand back their "hero" status and claps.
The sceptical old git in me thinks another nail in the "not fit for purpose" route to privatisation by the corrupt government of Tories.

My view also, if the sacked unvaxxed clinicians end up working for private health care providers it'll confirm it.

With plan B going in the bin, and isolation rules being canned, I’ll be amazed if this vax to work in nhs bollocks isn’t knocked on the head also.
