Legislation
Requirement for COVID-19 vaccinations for care home entry
Date
Effective 15 March 2022
Summary
CQC registered care homes in England (for nursing and personal care) no longer need to ensure that an individual does not enter the care home premises unless they provide evidence that they have been vaccinated with a complete course of an authorised vaccine against coronavirus (Covid-19) or are exempt.
This follows the government consultation to remove mandatory vaccination as a condition of deployment condition across all health and social care in England.
