Covid-19: Disabled people worry carers will leave over mandate

From Morning Report, 8:42 am on 11 November 2021

Disabled people fear they'll be left without critical help when the Covid-19 vaccine mandate kicks in next week for all home care and support workers.

They are part of the government order covering the health sector - staff must have their first shot by the 15 November.

There are predictions up to 15 percent could refuse and employers are not sure what they will do.
