Mandatory Covid jabs for frontline health and social care staff should be abandoned as workforce shortages are "paralysing the sector," a boss has warned.
Dr Jane Townson, chief executive of The Homecare Association, said "persuasion would likely be more successful than compulsion" and that the Government had "seriously misjudged" the "balance of risk" by forcing workers to be vaccinated.
The association also said it is concerned the safety and wellbeing of older and disabled people will be “dangerously compromised”.
