Will the vaccine be made mandatory?

[CathyandHeathcliff]

I’m not anti vaxx, I’ve had my DS vaccinated. So please don’t jump at me.
But I’m scared of the new vaccine being made mandatory. I keep reading things saying it will be. The latest from someone who works for the NHS on my Facebook.
The fact it’ll be such a new vaccine and sort of rushed out makes me panic.
I’ve never had the flu vaccine as I’m not eligible.

Is anyone else feeling this way?
Most people are so scared and so desperate to get back to normality that they will inevitably get it. My mum has already said she’ll be first in the queue.

Of course not

Allow anyone who refuses to have the vaccine sign a DNR form.

It contravenes human rights U.K. citizens have

They’d first have to get rid of our human rights

I can’t (yet) imagine it being mandatory

It would be a hell of a thing for the government to have the right to inject its citizens with anything... it would be a huge deal legally, really huge, it would be as big as allowing the gvt. to force us all to have a tracking device/micro chip implanted under our skin.

We are not there yet (I am glad to say)

Maybe not forced injection but they could restrict your access to schools and workplaces like they have in other countries.

There is no vaccine. There may never be a vaccine. Why are you even worrying about something that is not relevant right now.

I'm not the OP, but I see some reasons for thinking about it e.g. because some people like to consider the future and plan ahead, or at least think about what might happen so they can feel / be more prepared?

I have realised from this pandemic that I am more future orientated than a lot of other people.

Even if it were mandatory it would be ages before they got to the few who didn't want it. By which time everyone else will have risked themselves and their families to reassure those last few.
