I spoke to somebody in employed in Social Care a couple of months ago where the employer required a Covid vaccination shortly after her start date. Not my field, suggested she speak to ACAS. I've not seen anything to suggest eg lorry drivers or sales people need vaccine - unless of course the country travelled to demands it.
There's a process etc difference between an employer changing one's terms and conditions to require vaccination and a Statutory requirement in primary or secondary legislation or perhaps a Ministerial Direction. It will be interesting to see how the Department proceeds.
A medical exemption is likely to be tightly drawn.
For all Kevin's scepticism of lawyers etc there will be some hard cases and both Human Rights Law and Equality legislation are engaged.
