The head of one of London's biggest hospitals has expressed concern about losing personnel as a result of stricter vaccination requirements. Front-line NHS personnel in England will be required to get the Covid vaccine starting in April, or they will be transferred to another position. Clive Kay, the chief executive of King's College Hospital, said it was his job to encourage employees to be vaccinated, yet 10% of his 14,000 employees were still unvaccinated. Nadhim Zahawi, a government official, justified the program as "the correct thing to do." NHS staff in England who have direct face-to-face contact with patients will be required by law to be vaccinated against Covid beginning in April.
