On 11th November , people working within a care home setting will be required to have both of their Covid vaccinations.
Anyone who has not had their first vaccine by 16th September, will not be able to work from 11th November within a care home unless exempt.
An exemptions list has been published by the government, with options for the worker to self certify if they feel they come under the exemption list.
Self-Certification forms can be found HERE
See below some examples listed on the governments website -
Who is exempt
While this list is not exhaustive, examples of medical exemptions from COVID-19 vaccination could include individuals:
receiving end of life care where vaccination is not in the individual’s interests
with learning disabilities or autistic individuals, or with a combination of impairments which result in the same distress, who find vaccination and testing distressing because of their condition and cannot be achieved through reasonable adjustments such as provision of an accessible environment
with medical contraindications to the vaccines such as severe allergy to all COVID-19 vaccines or their constituents
who have had adverse reactions to the first dose (for example, myocarditis)
