Whilst I am supportive of the vaccine and having recently had my booster vaccine I am concerned about the implementation of a 'requirement' to have a vaccine. How are we to be sure that when administering the vaccine we are doing so within the guidance of the code of conduct. If coerced by fear of loss of job to have a vaccine can this be described as consent? If I am administering a vaccine to a person who states they are only having the injection because they fear they may lose their job is this informed consent? Am I in breach of the code and at risk of losing my registration for administering a vaccine without informed consent. It's a tricky one but something that should be considered.
