All patient-facing health and Care Quality Commission-regulated social care workers are required to be fully vaccinated from April 2022<\/strong>.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone as yet unvaccinated has until Thursday 3 February \u2013 just one more week \u2013 to get their first dose, in order to be given their second dose before the April deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some exemptions, including people under 18 years old; people who are clinically exempt; people taking part in a COVID-19 trial and people who don’t have face-to-face contact with the public.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It brings Care Quality Commission-regulated care workers in line with care home workers, who have been required to be fully vaccinated since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccinations can be booked through the National Booking Service<\/a>, by ringing 119, or by attending one of the many walk-ins<\/a> available across the county.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":54843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[106],"tags":[293],"class_list":["post-54842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adult-social-care","tag-coronavirus"],"acf":[],"featured_image":{"ID":54843,"title":"care worker vaccination deadline","alt":"Mandatory staff vaccination.
