A Covid jab could become compulsory for NHS workers and care home staff, as England s chief medical officer says they have a professional responsibility to get vaccinated. Speaking on Monday Professor Chris Whitty said he expects doctors and care workers to take the vaccine voluntarily, suggesting that they should want to do anything they can to reduce the risk Covid poses to their patients.  He told the government press briefing: My view is clearly for medical staff, where I am subject to the same code, it is a professional responsibility for doctors to do things which help protect their patients, and I expect that to be a professional responsibility for all other health and social care staff as well.
