Despite the clear benefits of vaccination against COVID-19, there was significant unease relating to the government policy of mandatory vaccination of health and care staff in England and the potential inequities this may lead to. Healthcare staff, and in particular doctors, speaking out on this issue may have inadvertently provided a narrative, which undermined the objective of achieving widespread vaccination of populations against this serious disease. The recent reversal of this policy may not mark the end of this debate amongst health and social care staff.
尽管接种 COVID-19 疫苗有明显的好处,但英国政府对卫生和保健工作人员强制接种疫苗的政策引起了极大的不安,这可能导致不公平现象。医护人员,特别是医生,在这个问题上直言不讳,可能无意中提供了一个破坏广泛接种这种严重疾病疫苗目标的叙述。这项政策的最近逆转可能并不标志着卫生和社会保健工作人员之间这场辩论的结束。
