GMB's Dr Hilary says mandatory jabs for NHS staff 'doesn't make sense' after restriction news

Dr Hilary Jones has shared he no longer believes it should be mandatory for NHS staff to have the Covid vaccine, now that the government plan to "abandon" all coronavirus restrictions in England - having previously supported the mandatory policy.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, Hilary explained that forcing healthcare workers to get the vaccine but then ditching self-isolation, even for people who have tested positive for the virus, "didn't make sense".

It comes amid reports that 80,000 healthcare professionals remain unvaccinated, and are at risk of losing their jobs over the mandatory policy.
