Once again, the UK and Scottish governments are at variance – this time over whether the Covid vaccine should be compulsory for care home workers.
The Westminster government has signalled that it should – and had given staff 16 weeks to get the jabs or face redeployment or even being let go.
The Scottish Government has said it will not go down this route – saying that vaccination rates in this sector in Scotland are high.
This stance has been backed by Scottish Care and the Unison trade union.
Mandatory vaccinations are a fraught subject, bringing to the fore many issues.
And it’s by no means a settled subject in Scotland as a Delta-variant powered third wave of Covid gathers pace – the Scottish Government has said the situation will be kept under review.
This is why we’re asking what you think.
Should there be mandatory Covid vaccines for care home staff?
