FabSwingers.com forum: Care home staff could be forced to have vaccine

from sky news

Care home staff in England could be forced to get a vaccine, the government has said.

The Department of Health and Social Care has launched a consultation on making vaccination a condition of deployment for care home staff.

A five-week consultation will seek views and a decision is expected this summer.

According to experts from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), 80% of staff and 90% of residents need to be vaccinated to provide a minimum level of protection against COVID outbreaks.

Latest vaccination figures from NHS England show that 78.9% of older adult care home staff have had a jab.

Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock said: "Older people living in care homes are most at risk of suffering serious consequences of COVID-19 and we have seen the grave effects the virus has had on this group.

"Making vaccines a condition of deployment is something many care homes have called for, to help them provide greater protection for staff and residents in older people's care homes and so save lives.

"The vaccine is already preventing deaths and is our route out of this pandemic. We have a duty of care to those most vulnerable to COVID-19, so it is right we consider all options to keep people safe."

The proposal would not include staff who are exempt from taking the vaccine on medical grounds.

Sounds reasonable to me, I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to be vaccinated against possible death!

As we all get older we may need to go into a care home! Shouldn't we want the people who look after us to be as protected as they can be to help protect us in our old age?

Am I missing something? It only helps to prevent an individual from getting a serious case not from contracting or passing it on. I can understand all residents but surely testing workers is more important? I'm not against such an idea btw.

The building evidence suggests it might well reduce transmission.

Exactly. It's mandatory for us. It's all about protecting ourselves and others. If someone decides to work in care you have a duty to those you care for. Obvious exception is those who can't have it on medical grounds

You frequently come into contact with many pathogenic virus... they enter your body every day but your immune system has learnt to recognise these and quickly counters them before they get established and start significantly replicating. Vaccines train your immune system, you may still have Covid particles enter you but if your immune response to the vaccine (or previous infection) has been good then it is very very unlikely for you to become a significant spreader of the virus. This is currently down played so those who have been vaccinated don’t stop ignoring the rules, seeing them would encourage poorer compliance amongst those still unvaccinated.

To give the best protection to those in care both the patient and the caregiver need to be fully vaccinated.

Testing won't stop people passing the virus on. No vaccination is 100% effective but this reduces severity which is key to keeping our elderly safe. Vaccination and testing need to both be done

As a carer I consider it my responsibility to do everything I can to mitigate the risks to the people I care for.

It really boils my piss that some of our staff have refused to get vaccinated. Strangely enough they are the same staff that show little care for our residents, treat them as an annoyance and are just turning up for the pay check.

My Grandad missed out on the initial appointment offered to him because my Covid denier mother deleted an answerphone message offering him the appointment. My Grandad was 100% mentally competent. He was offered a further appointment on 22nd Jan. That was the day he was admitted to hospital with Covid, caught from my Covid denying mother and her denier husband. My Grandad died of Covid on 25th January. Covid denier stepfather died the following week, denying till the last. Mother still denies. I would like her prosecuted for preventing Grandad timely access to healthcare but apparently you can't do that.

Not remotely different.

To have my career in the NHS I had to have the BCG (didn’t get it at school for a random reason) and HepB vax. Otherwise no career in that field.

Exactly the same here with this one.

People are free not to be vaccinated, but if you want specific careers there are often things that come as part of it. This is one of them

If your friend has Power of Attorney for her mother's health then it's a difficult area, if she doesn't and is just next of kin or DOLs RPR, a doctor can overrule her decision if they believe it is in her mothers best interests to have the vaccine

PoA can be challenged by medical professionals if they think that the Attorney isn't making decisions in the best interest of the patient, but this requires legal intervention obviously.

It's not the choice of vulnerable care home residents to be infected by staff who may be unvaccinated and bring the virus into a close-care facility. Mandatory Hep B vaccines are already required in large areas of the health service, with staff having to prove immunity via antibody tests.

I have no problem with vaccines as have had loads over the yrs,for different destinations etc but this one I have found the clinical trials are still on going and I think I will wait until they finish, just my choice, family have taken it etc so until the trials are over maybe it should not be mandatory?

I have some issues with hand sanitisers however, as you need to get “good” bacteria into the body, it boosts immune system, also with social distancing you fail to pick up colds etc that trains the immune system and my fear is now immune systems low we will see people getting sick for things they would normally be ok with, just an opinion, know it may be wrong also

just wondering if others thought the same?

And they're all fully approved by the same regulatory body.

I am unsure about this, it was obviously a question that came up at work when we were discussing. Say person A came to a residential home pre covid, pay privately, then survived the first wave and a vaccine is offered and they refuse, still having capacity to do so, I'm not sure what would happen in that situation.

"Its official the uk is a fascist state "

Of all the creeping infringements on our liberties and privileges, being offered a free vaccination against at a worldwide health risk and being “discriminated” against for not taking it when you have no good reason not to, is waaaay down the list.

In the care home I work visitors have to provide proof of a negative test before they are allowed to visit a relative.

They are happy to do so in order to protect the residents.

Happily all the staff are fully vaccinated.

We test all visitors and staff Everyone is very happy to do this and my staff have all had both vaccines. My point was if it’s to be made compulsory it needs to be for anyone entering a care home xx

Did you say the same when it became mandatory for al NHS staff to be vaccinated against Hep B?

It’s rubbish that people who choose to work in care have a duty of care to the people they care for?

Wow ... suppose teachers have no duty of care for their kids of doctors for their patients.

There's an argument for that, but staff who will be spending many hours with residents, providing close personal care and who will move between many tens of residents in a given day/shift are also arguably far more likely to spread the virus to a resident than a family member who visits one person, outdoors or indoors 1:1, with social distancing and PPE etc.

Also I suppose it's too easy for visitors to fake having the vaccine, there's no way homes can check medical records of visitors and the only "proof" people have is a piece of cardboard that can very easily be faked.

"from sky news

Care home staff in England could be forced to get a vaccine, the government has said.

The Department of Health and Social Care has launched a consultation on making vaccination a condition of deployment for care home staff.

A five-week consultation will seek views and a decision is expected this summer.

Latest vaccination figures from NHS England show that 78.9% of older adult care home staff have had a jab.

The proposal would not include staff who are exempt from taking the vaccine on medical grounds."

*claps

Finally the government are actually growing a pair!

Surely everyone must realise that there will now be certain job roles where a vaccination and booster each year is going to become mandatory..

Has to happen.. People who are old and vulnerable health is at stake.. So I'd say its justified.

Look.. The fact is we get to chose our jobs based on whether we can do them /happy with conditions and the terms of employment.. That's why not everyone cleans the drains, works on oil rigs, high up ladders, gutting fish in a factory or deep in a hole underground.. We chose what we do based on the rules..

This is just re establishing them.. You want to work in care, NHS, teaching, and other roles.. Get the jab.. If not don't..you and I both have the right to do that.. That's okay with me too.

I'm perfectly happy with changing the rules to suit the changes we are going through as should everyone else be..

Yes.

I'm not sure what people know. Public education is important, and I think empowering people is necessary. But ultimately the buck has to stop somewhere and I think the bar for caring for vulnerable people should be fairly high.

I saw for myself the devastating effect of covid when it hit our care home in Nov/Dec of last year. It was a truly frightening time.

After that, every member of staff and 99% of residents chose to have both vaccinations.

Having become very ill with covid I’d gladly have yearly boosters rather than go through it ever again.

Families of our residents are also choosing to be vaccinated.

As far as I’m concerned it IS a duty of care. If you are not prepared to be vaccinated don’t come into the profession. It’s a vocation, you do the job because you want to protect life, not endanger it.

The question was the main triad of symptoms - temperature, new continuous cough and loss of taste/smell. That's what 2 in 5 could not identify apparently.

Should a 25 year-old female carer who is trying for a baby have to have the vaccine when advise is for pregnant ladies not to have it?

Should that carer have to tell her employer she is trying for a baby in order to be exempt?

This would be sex discrimination under current legislation.

There's no advice not to have the vaccine if trying to get pregnant. Pregnant women can have the vaccine if they're in a high risk group, but obviously the benefits vs risks are to be weighed up by the woman with a medical professional. But trying for a baby and being pregnant are two totally different things and women who are of child bearing age and not pregnant have no special considerations to take outside of the same screening questions we ask all patients.

No carers should be forced to have the vaccine. The same as no nurse or doctor are forced to have hep b and other jabs before working for the nhs. But it is a condition of their employment that they have them hence no jabs no job (unless valid medical conditions).

How would you feel if your elderly family member had to go into care through no fault of their own or yours and while in care a worker looking after them who had not been vaccinated passed covid onto them and they died.

Anyone who intends to work in care and with the vulnerable should have every jab available to them for the safety of their own families and the patients they work with. It would be like a construction firm letting a person operate heavy plant machinery on a busy building site with no training or experience. Basically an accident waiting to happen. Also i think insurance companies who insure care homes and the like may have something to say in reguards to the public and patient liabity policies they issue. If you have staff not vaccinated and a patient dies then you d have no cover .

I'd be devastated of course.

I would question why said individual was providing care to vulnerable adults, and would commence legal proceedings against both the home and also the individual after seeking legal counsel of course.

I'd also inform CQC immediately.

Someone who was exempt would be able to get a letter from their GP staying such.

Shielding letters, for example, didn’t detail why someone was being advised to shield, just that they were.

There’s no reason that vaccine exemptions would have any detailing on them.

Can my employer force me to have the Covid-19 vaccine?

Employers will most likely seek to encourage employees to take up the vaccine, without making it compulsory.

However, depending on the type of work you do, and sectors that you work in, it may be within your employer’s legal right to take action if you are not going to be vaccinated and they think there are good reasons why you should be.

For example, this might apply to people working in healthcare or care home settings. In some circumstances, depending on the terms between the employee and employer, employees could in fact be dismissed for refusing the vaccination if it means they will present a threat to themselves, patients or service users.

Why is it an infringement of civil libities???

If an vulnerable person is being cared for and becomes ill from someone that is not vaccinated or for that matter comes into work with flu or another desease isn t that the persons right to refuse to let them anywhere near them ??? And if they did become ill or even die isn t the families right to seek recompence. Ie these days sue that person and thier company for negligence

Happily all the staff are fully vaccinated.

What about when visiting restrictions are relaxed and family members are permitted to have close contact indoors again. I agree, surely they should also have to be vaccinated to ensure their relative and other vulnerable residents are protected? This should also have to apply to any other outside professionals visiting the home. GPs, District Nurses, Chiropodists, Social Workers, Hairdressers etc all of whom have close contact with residents and see/ visit potentially 100s of different people, places etc in a single day. Seems a bit of a wasted effort to force the care home staff to take up the vaccine then allowing other potentially unvaccinated people to wander in and out

I don't get why this is so controversial. For decades we have had to have mandatory vacancies to travel to various destinations. And in some industries It is again mandatory to get a multitude vaccinations to be able to work.

This isn't even about protecting the workers themselves, it's about protecting their vulnerable charges.... If someone wants to make a moral argument about why they should be allowed to kill grannies, then I think they're pretty callous!

*Disclaimer, that was just all hypothetical, and just a discussion we literally had the other day."

Maybe they could have to remain isolated in their room then and not be permitted to use communal areas, in order to protect vulnerable residents who may not be medically able to take the vaccine, as opposed to serving them notice to leave

People don't whine about taking whatever vaccinations / innoculations are required for various world travels. If you join the military you are given a cocktail of jabs to protect you wherever you might serve. Public sector workers are offered and some required to have various jabs for their work environment. Care workers are there to care for vulnerable people, which includes protecting them from whatever shite you might transmit to them. If you can't live with that, don't be a carer.

"As we all get older we may need to go into a care home! Shouldn't we want the people who look after us to be as protected as they can be to help protect us in our old age? "

And here's one of the issues. A year ago we were all too happy blaming central govt for the horribly high spread of infection and death in our care homes... Partly Because care homes had become pretty lax with infection control, ppe, hand washing, isolation and so on... Hopefully a year later some of those processes are a bit better now and baked in to operating policies. And they are now safer places for our elderly and infirm to be. Now care homes have an opportunity to take a further step. It is surely negligent of them if they don't. If the ops stats are accurate... 79% of older care staff... Why only 79 %? And what about the younger care staff?

Again there's the issue. So visits restricted to one person one hour per week. All Visitors tested.

All staff not being tested every day.

Result. Mum caught it from a carer and died. It only works if everyone plays by the rules.

The Department of Health and Social Care has launched a consultation on making vaccination a condition of deployment for care home staff.

A five-week consultation will seek views and a decision is expected this summer.

Latest vaccination figures from NHS England show that 78.9% of older adult care home staff have had a jab.

The proposal would not include staff who are exempt from taking the vaccine on medical grounds."

Going to be a lot of unfair dissmisal claims esp for the carers who have original contracts and dont want to have jab you cant enforse any medical treatment so what next total control no freedom

Care home staff in England could be forced to get a vaccine, the government has said.

The Department of Health and Social Care has launched a consultation on making vaccination a condition of deployment for care home staff.

They’ll just go through consultation and change their contracts. Happens all the time and nothing can do if it’s done legally.

Everyone moaning cos it’s about covid but genuinely couldn’t care less when the NHS enforced other vaccines lol.

Anything for an argument these days!

Why is litigation a bad thing? It's how we prove what the law is in the specifics.

I predict the companies have a reasonable chance of success.

Oh noes people in healthcare have to minimise their risk to others 1984 Hitler apocalypse

"Its official the uk is a fascist state

Did you say the same when it became mandatory for al NHS staff to be vaccinated against Hep B?"

It is not mandatory!!

It is strongly suggested! there is a very big legal difference there.

Taken from NHS site "People who work in certain jobs SHOULD be vaccinated against high-risk diseases they MAY be exposed to at work."

What they are talking about now is force, i.e. if you don't have the vaccine you'll have no job, add to that, if it is made forcibly mandatory throughout the industry then you also loose the choice to choose your work/means of earning - Human right.

it also leave the door wide open and makes it far easier to make it mandatory for all industries then that means anyone who doesn't will not be able to work anywhere, those people will be dragged into gangs and criminal activities just to get a meal.

You then have to start asking big questions most don't want to admit their government capable of, like

where does the legal limit to force medications upon citizens stop?

who decides what is a biological threat?

What treatments must be given? wouldn't be you.

put it this way, if you start down this road of forcing medical treatments what is to stop them from forcing the likes of a sterilization drug upon certain people using the excuses like "it's for the safety of the greater public, these people have family history of XYZ"

or the hot climate topic basis

"it is not mandatory to eat lab grown meat"

"It's for the safety of the existing public that we cannot allow our populations to grow any further."

issues with the climate ones is that it will directly affect their profits, that why none of them want to do it. Can't eat or drink money though.

(for whatever reason, it is their right to decide for themselves.)

if this happens they NEED to find a human rights lawyer and go to court, they can all do what they like until they are challenged in law and it is proven it is illegal.

this is illegal under the highest international laws and the UK is NOT the only country trying to force this.

Put it this way, if all the countries can then force what ever they like upon citizens, what have you, me, the individual got left?

your a cog in a machine, an existence, your life is not your own when you cannot make decisions for your own life.

The human rights regime the UK is under allows for vaccine mandates.

Sorry.
