    What are the vaccine rules for NHS staff and can I get a booster?

     

     

    Frontline NHS staff in England will have to be fully vaccinated against Covid, the government has announced.

    In one spin, the image can be sorted in ทดลองเล่นสล็อต more than one line, because in each game there is a different winning pattern.

    It comes as more people are being encouraged to get a booster jab ahead of winter.


    What are the vaccine rules for NHS staff?
    A deadline of April is being set, to give unvaccinated NHS staff time to get both doses.

    There will be exemptions for medical reasons and for those who don't have face-to-face contact with patients.

    The announcement only applies to England - other UK nations have not made similar proposals.

    Health Secretary Sajid Javid said 93% of NHS staff in England had had their first dose, and 90% were fully vaccinated. This is higher than the general working-age population, where about 81% have had both doses.

    But it still leaves 103,000 workers unvaccinated, Mr Javid told MPs.


    What are the rules for care home staff and others?
    Care home staff in England have until Thursday to get vaccinated (unless they have a medical exemption).

    Again, this does not apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

    Vaccination is not compulsory for other people in the UK, although Scotland and Wales require Covid passports to enter some venues and events.
