Will we be able to refuse treatment from NHS staff who refuse the vaccine?

I don't mean now, but a few months down the line when they have all had the opportunity to be vaccinated.

DH had his first dose this morning, but there are many staff refusing. Given that it's going to be a long time before the majority of us are vaccinated, having treatment from vaccinated professionals seems a good way to reduce risks.

What rights does anyone think we will have regarding treatment?

The majority aren't vaccinated now is anyone refusing their treatment?

I’m a nurse, I haven’t had the Covid vaccine yet and I don’t know if I will.

I’ve worked in the NHS for 14 years, and have probably had my flu jab about two times out of the last six times I’ve been offered it.

On the four occasions I chose not to have it, I had to sign a form that said if I were off due to having the flu then I would not be entitled to sick pay for it.

Otherwise yes, we do get 6 months of full pay if we are off sick for other reasons.
