CARE home staff will be required by law to receive a coronavirus vaccination under plans by the Government - as figures reveal nearly a quarter of workers in Essex have not had a first dose. A five-week consultation on mandatory jabs has been launched following concerns about whether enough carers have been vaccinated to stop the virus spreading to residents. But the move has provoked criticism from trade union Unison which said mandatory vaccinations could backfire and lead to a staffing shortage. Across Essex, 9,555 out of 12,406 eligible staff, including agency workers, at older adult care homes had received a first dose by April 11, according to latest NHS figures - meaning 23 per cent have not had a jab.
