Hi all,
Care Home with a relative in just sent us this letter:
"We would prefer only fully vaccinated persons to visit the home, and so will require proof of
vaccination. Where someone has not been vaccinated, our management teams will risk assess accordingly. My personal view is that, if someone has refused a vaccination on principle, then we should not be allowing them access into our homes. Such a visitor should be restricted to garden visits only, if at all. That said, it remains an uncomfortable position to be denying such a visit."
(Note the shift from "prefer" to "require")
Does anyone know whether:
- Care Homes are allowed to do this?
- Is there any legal or regulatory recourse against Care Homes doing this?
Thanks in advance,
C
Is anyone able to shed some light on this? I'm getting more seriously worried about the prospect of a "vaccine passport" for visiting our relative in a care home.
