Will this vaccination requirement among healthcare workers be extended to COVID-19 vaccination?
Healthcare Services (General) Regulations, Incident management & emergency preparedness
COVID-19 vaccination is currently voluntary for healthcare workers. However, healthcare workers are at high risk of exposure to the disease in their workplaces. It is, therefore, important that they are protected from the disease, so that they can in turn protect their loved ones and their patients. Healthcare workers are therefore, strongly encouraged to be vaccinated.
