Calls grow to ditch compulsory Covid jabs law for NHS staff as 80,000 face the sack in two weeks
Ministers are under pressure from Tory MPs to scrap a law requiring all NHS staff to have a Covid jab as bosses prepare to start sacking 80,000 in a fortnight.
All frontline workers must have had two doses of the vaccine by April 1, meaning the first must have been administered by February 3.
But more than 80,000 – 6 per cent of the workforce – remain unvaccinated despite repeated efforts to boost take-up.
New NHS guidance to employers says staff who have not been jabbed should start being called into formal meetings from February 4 and warned they face dismissal with the notice period ending on March 31.
