A Liverpool MP and a senior doctor working at one of the city's hospitals are at odds over the situation surrounding covid vaccines and NHS staff.
The government has performed a dramatic u-turn on its intention to make vaccines compulsory for NHS staff and is currently consulting on its plan to scrap the policy for health and social care workers.
It had been a policy that NHS workers would need to be vaccinated by April or face losing their jobs, but last week Health Secretary Sajid Javid said he believes it is 'no longer proportionate' to require vaccination as a condition of deployment.
