"lots of bits of news scattered around about making nhs staff and covid vaccine compulsory over the last day or two ..if this happens then i can see it being compulsory in many other jobs and not just health related ??? all views welcome " That will never happen. You can’t force someone to take medication against their will. The legal implications about infringing human rights would be too great. Lawsuits everywhere if they even tried. | |||

"Doubt it, most folks I work with in healthcare have now been jabbed. Sadly, a 30 year old friend has just returned from a stint in hospital. Not jabbed, no underlying health conditions, laboured breathing, described as having a large stone on his chest, 3 days in hospital on oxygen, back home but still breathless, advised it will take many weeks before normal. Great to hear he's back home. "Glad he's improving. I suppose it depends on overall uptake, and overall healthcare uptake. Actual duty of care to patients beyond any call to community mindedness for those of us not in healthcare - how that's interpreted. | |||

"Unlikely we are unable to get medical staff now for unattractive areas like emergency dept so that would add even more problems to recruitment esp for middle grade doctors who in many cases are not british" Vaccine mandates are more accepted in countries outside the UK. I don't think that'll be a massive problem somehow... | |||

Not many deal with so many people who are likely to have a number of contributing medical complications. In the end they already have to have jabs for other medical conditions (I think hep b is already compulsory). Not sure you can insist on the same rules for say a train driver, or crane operator. | |||

" I've been glancing at employment law commentary on this from time to time, and have seen the stance change on jobs in general. It's clearest that health and care are the most likely to have legally defensible vaccine mandates. | |||

"It should be a personal choice. Thin end of the wedge when you force people to put things in their body that they do not want and in some cases even need. " Does that not also apply to patients? Should they be allowed to refuse treatment from a nurse or doctor if they don't feel safe or don't know covid status etc? If so..then the NHS will be in an even more chaotic state I would think? | |||

Weren't you happy to go with regular testing not so long ago? No one should be told they have to have this vaccine, not yet anyway. Maybe in a couple of years, I see 2023 bandied about a lot. I think that's when the vaccines will be fully licenced or whatever it is. | |||

" Yup. Particularly as it's based on partial bollocks. All approved vaccines (under emergency use) have had their phase 3 trials concluded and results published. As someone on a phase 3 trial whose results are expected in autumn, my participation is expected until May or June next year. Post trial safety monitoring. How scary  | |||

Don't know of any of my colleagues who have refused but it's not really any of my business if they do refuse. To be fair to those who don't work front line and just take the numbers of folks either dead or not, it gives a distorted picture. It's the ones who don't die and don't 100% recover that's worrying especially as it's starting to enter the younger age group. Think by the time any form of legislation to force vaccination appears we will hopefully have enough people vaccinated to have a handle on the virus. Let's see what happens when all restrictions are lifted and next winter kicks in. | |||

Do you work in a medical profession?"No. I'm a long term volunteer in a charity allied with health professionals and social care, though, and I consider my vaccination to be an absolute minimum in my duty of care to those I serve. (Albeit "vaccination as soon as possible" under the circumstances) | |||

No. I'm a long term volunteer in a charity allied with health professionals and social care, though, and I consider my vaccination to be an absolute minimum in my duty of care to those I serve.

"lots of bits of news scattered around about making nhs staff and covid vaccine compulsory over the last day or two ..if this happens then i can see it being compulsory in many other jobs and not just health related ??? all views welcome That will never happen. You can’t force someone to take medication against their will. The legal implications about infringing human rights would be too great. Lawsuits everywhere if they even tried. it already happens in medical backgrounds, it is not illegal because you are not forced to take the job, therefore not forced to take the jab , choice and free will still exists in this scenario I meant if they were already in the position. It’s discriminatory if they refuse. " It isn't at all, if you're working with vulnerable people who are at risk if they catch covid, you should be in a position where you are taking ALL necessary precautions to keep them safe. If you don't like it, get a different job. | |||

You’re not trained to give advice."I'm afraid that I would have to disagree here. Limiting posts to only those with appropriate professional qualifications for the topic would somewhat reduce the number of people contributing. In particular it would mean that for threads on the virus forum only those with degree or higher qualifications in medicine, virology, microbiology, epidemiology would be allowed to post. I suppose those with higher level mathematical training might also be allowed to give their opinions on matters such as exponential growth, and computer scientists could have some input about the computer modelling of the pandemic. On the positive side though, it would mean that any pseudo-science nonsense would be removed from the forum, vastly limiting the spread of untruths and quackery. | |||

"Very difficult to do your NHS job on front line if you haven't got a HepB vaccine. What is the difference? The HepB has long term study. 40 years study. That’s the difference " 40 years is true, but you missed the minor point of it has been used for 40 years, so at that time it was as you call it "an experimental drug" don't remember any complaining then. | |||

As has been mentioned elsewhere, vaccination requirements are nothing new for healthcare professionals. Make this one compulsory. It's no big deal. | |||

" It should be a personal choice. Thin end of the wedge when you force people to put things in their body that they do not want and in some cases even need. Sure. Choose your job or not. I’m sorry but this is one of the most stupid comments I’ve seen on fab....EVER!!! Basically you’re saying risk your long term health or the other option is that you can’t afford to feed yourself and the kids? Wow! I’m lost for words. I'm lost for words too that you jumped on this? Don't know what job you do but I bet you are qualified to do it? Fact of the matter is this You /we all have physical and mental /academic restriction..and soon coming whether you or any one else likes it..medical ones too! Someone who fit reasons of conscience won't have the vaccine does not get to work with vulnerable people. Simple as that and I think pretty sensible Don't like it? Find another job..currently the job market is getting swamped.. Fact is times are changing and wittering on about someone in the medical profession not getting vaccinated is just deliberately trying to upset people.. Put it this way..I won't be getting treated by any health professional who has not been vaccinated..further I will be asking for proof /confirmation before agreeing to any treatment That is something I think is right and proper to do.. People need to start being willing to accept change before I fear it will be forced onto them . And what right do you have to demand to know anyone else's medical history? Using the same attitude as "if you don't like it, find another job" - if you don't like it go and get your free medical treatment elsewhere. Oh...wait.... " Nice try..but no cigar! Consider this.. Everyone has the right..to know about anything that concerns their own health That's why we fill in questionnaires before being treated to give people information.. Further..without up to date information on health carers health status..or being prewarnrd /given choice to work with them or not Anyone catching covid in a hospital could potentially shut the hospital down and they could find themselves sued for damages And no one will allow that! | |||

My other post mentioned that when I said I was half in half, I would probably be selfish and say I would rather they be vaccinated if they were treating me, but where do we draw the line? Workers in supermarkets , transport, hospitality, they probably mix with more people on a daily shift. I wouldn't know where the line would be drawn I don't know where the line I'd draw would be, but it'd definitely encompass health and social care - it's very much in the ethos of the work, to me. I would be more likely to exclude hospitality/retail because it's less secure and less likely to be a career. I don't think the imposition can be justified on that work force." I think that comment would be taken as an insult to the many people who have made a career out of Hospitality and retail but I get your point that there may be casual workers too...although there are people who are in an out of NHS jobs and certainly a good turnover of staff at Care homes too I am not sure jabs for other things are compulsory for NHS staff at the moment ( unless someone knows differently and will pop up ) so I would be surprised if they made this compulsory. | |||

Yes, it's more a question of employee vulnerability and perceived job security rather than a slight on those who make it a career. And assisting health is kind of key to healthcare. (Others have mentioned Hep B as being compulsory?) | |||

"Disgusting making anyone participate in any clinical trial! If you're willing to take it fine, if not, fine. Personal choice, anything else is fascist like behaviour. " Surely the opposite is also true? Not agreeing and refusing is forcing other people to behave differently..increase fear worry and concern of the 'unknown' element wherever you go and wherever you work.. That I suggest is 'strong arm'tactics though! to try to force a lot of people to have to put up with continued potential problems from this virus because a minority refuse to help out when they are able to? That's emotional torture adding to mental health concerns! | |||

Looking at it a different way, right this minute you wouldn't go into the Docs without expecting to see them masked an gloved up and sat two metres away from you ( assuming they were open to patients, ours doesn't seem to be ) You would expect them to be taking precautions, so isn't the jab a precaution? | |||

I think if it's reasonable to expect your job is going to put you into contact with members of at-risk groups (elderly, underlying health conditions, compromised immune systems etc.) then vaccination requirements makes a lot of sense. | |||

If you read the bit of paper in all medicines you buy over the counter or are prescribed it will include information on known side effects and where to report, so all this c**p being spread on the internet about it being a big trial is BS." Yes. This 2023 nonsense is post trial safety monitoring. The phase 3 studies have long since been published. Phase 4 trials are post marketing monitoring. ... And we get all this scaremongering. Because of additional safety checks
(The trial I'm on is seeking approval in the autumn, but my presence is required intermittently until June 2022) | |||

" Put it this way..I won't be getting treated by any health professional who has not been vaccinated..further I will be asking for proof /confirmation before agreeing to any treatment For curiosity , would you do that before Covid? I know it isn't the same as Flu but Flu can kill, would you ask a healthcare worker treating you had they had the Flu jab? Good question..I probably wouldn't have thought too much about it. However, I have some in going health issues so it is likely I would have asked questions before signing consent forms for surgery. You see this is why I can't make my mind up, before this I probably wouldn't have asked them either, but now I am trying to keep myself safe, would I be safe if the person treating me hadn't had the jab and would I ask now, who knows....but on the other hand I do believe in people having a choice over what goes in your body So I have still not made my mind up as to whether it should be compulsory for certain professions." That's reasonable. I'm leaning towards a sort of 'Blitz spirit/ greater good' sort of way of thinking about this. | |||

"lots of bits of news scattered around about making nhs staff and covid vaccine compulsory over the last day or two ..if this happens then i can see it being compulsory in many other jobs and not just health related ??? all views welcome That will never happen. You can’t force someone to take medication against their will. The legal implications about infringing human rights would be too great. Lawsuits everywhere if they even tried. " You cant no but you can and many jobs within the NSH already stipulate you must have certain vaccinations in the employment contract. You don't have to have any vaccines but you may well find you won't get hired. This has been the case with the hep vaccine for many years and is not a new thing. | |||

"Disgusting making anyone participate in any clinical trial! If you're willing to take it fine, if not, fine. Personal choice, anything else is fascist like behaviour. It's not though is it. Certain jobs have certain requirements. If someone doesn't want the vaccine they can get another job with different requirements.
Exactly this "Exactly! Its like saying I want to be a teacher but I don't want a DBS check. Thats fine but your application will be rejected. Its also like a job that requires a driving licence, I don't drive so know I wouldn't get the job because I fit the requirements. | |||

"It should be a personal choice. Thin end of the wedge when you force people to put things in their body that they do not want and in some cases even need. Sure. Choose your job or not.So its your way or the highway.How you going to fill all those highly trained jobs. " That is always the case with employment though. If I choose not to comply with company policy whatever that is or a contract change then I won't have job for long. | |||

"Hep is not a new vaccine that is why Can you please name me one vaccine that has ever been passed as safe to have proven long term side affects? Pandemtrix. " THIS from the British Medical Journal (and pro-vaxxers can’t understand why anti-vaxxers are, well anti, and vaccine hesitant want to wait a bit )
“Eight years after the pandemic influenza outbreak, a lawsuit alleging that GlaxoSmithKline’s Pandemrix vaccine caused narcolepsy has unearthed internal reports suggesting problems with the vaccine’s safety. Peter Doshi asks what this means for the future of transparency during public health emergencies
In October 2009, the US National Institutes of Health infectious diseases chief, Anthony Fauci, appeared on YouTube to reassure Americans about the safety of the “swine flu” vaccine. “The track record for serious adverse events is very good. It’s very, very, very rare that you ever see anything that’s associated with the vaccine that’s a serious event,”1 he said.
Four months earlier, the World Health Organization had declared H1N1 influenza a pandemic, and by October 2009 the new vaccines were being rolled out across the world. A similar story was playing out in the UK, with prominent organisations, including the Department of Health, British Medical Association, and Royal Colleges of General Practitioners, working hard to convince a reluctant NHS workforce to get vaccinated. “We fully support the swine flu vaccination programme … The vaccine has been thoroughly tested,” they declared in a joint statement.
Except, it hadn’t. Anticipating a severe influenza pandemic, governments around the world had made various logistical and legal arrangements to shorten the time between recognition of a pandemic virus and the production of a vaccine and administration of that vaccine in the population. In Europe, one element of those plans was an agreement to grant licences to pandemic vaccines based on data from pre-pandemic “mock-up” vaccines produced using a different virus (H5N1 influenza). Another element, adopted by countries such as Canada, the US, UK, France, and Germany, was to provide vaccine manufacturers indemnity from liability for wrongdoing, thereby reducing the risk of a lawsuit stemming from vaccine related injury.” | |||

"Haha what a load of utter rubbish , you guys the mind boggles unbelievable " Why? Are you not able to back up these continued attempts at putting people down? Or do you just not want to? Please remember some people are really struggling at the moment directly due to a virus you frequently suggest is nothing to worry about! Rather than rebuke and tease people maybe kindness is a better idea these days ? All opinions matter but these days a bit of kindness and being mindful of others who are really struggling would be a better approach? just coming online to bait vulnerable or weak people rather than have any interest in hearing someones opinion and enter a discussion isn't that great really *shrugs .. | |||
