COVID-19 Vaccine What does it mean for Staff

If a staff member refuses the COVID-19 Vaccine• In all instances the first step that a care home manager should take is

to discuss with the employee the reasons for refusing the COVID-19 Vaccine, try to understand their reasons and attempt to alleviate their concerns or fears.

• If a staff member is not vaccinated, they will remain at risk of developing COVID-19. They will also remain a risk of being an asymptomatic carrier.

• As with all vaccines the COVID-19 vaccination requires consent, and it is not mandatory. All individuals should have the opportunity to make an informed choice.

After receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine

It is important to follow the guidance in your local area to protect those around you even after you have had the Vaccine.To protect yourself, residents, family, friends and colleagues you still need to: • Practise social distancing • Wear a face mask • Wash your hands carefully and frequently• Follow all IPC measures in place in the Care Home• Ensure compliance with regular testing• Follow Procedures with self-isolation regulations where required
