The healthcare sector is already struggling with the lack of healthcare workers at present. Putting the new vaccination law into place is going to cause a loss of thousands of healthcare workers. This will impact on the vulnerable individuals replying on care who will end up be neglected, care needs not being meet with staff shortages.
