"Although it might result in a reduction in the number of health workers I agree (in principle) that health workers should be vaccinated."

There's a bit of a difference between "should" and "must." I could never agree that vaccination, an invasive medical procedure, should be made compulsory under pain of dismissal. The democratic way is to use education and persuasion to convince doubters to take the vaccine.

However, I think this may become almost a non-issue. In France, making the jab compulsory for health workers increased the uptake from 60% to 99%. I have a feeling that Sadge reached his decision having received that knowledge.

I've had my flu jab and I'm having my booster jab on Saturday. Cases are very high round here but the jab will make me feel a tad safer. I feel sorry for Africa.
