O/T:- Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

Do you think NHS should have the vaccine? I think they should, and I wish the NHS were in a position to sack them if they don’t.

Unfortunately it isn’t though.

Each NHS member of staff can make their own mind up. I don't think there should be a covid vaccine mandate. They could have introduced a vaccine mandate as soon as the COVID vaccine became available, but they are now. I don't know why they didn't do so in 2020 or 2021. It's a puzzle.
If they do enforce the mandate they will be in a position to sack them so you've not got long wait for your wish to come true.

Do they currently have to have the flu jab to be able to work in the NHS ?

I don’t think they’ll enforce the mandate because even the psychopaths in charge can’t sack thousands of staff and hope no one notices the difference.

As you infer with your hypothetical scenarios, most of us would prefer unvaccinated staff to no staff at all.
