Leading British doctors have expressed “grave concern” over the government’s threat to impose vaccine mandates on healthcare staff, saying any reduction of medical staff would have a devastating impact on hospitals already under immense strain.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Oct. 25 that he was “leaning towards” introducing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for staff of the National Health Service (NHS) to force the roughly 100,000 staff members who remain unvaccinated to get the jab.
