(ANSA) - LONDON, OCTOBER 25 - The British government of BorisJohnson is evaluating the introduction of the compulsory double anti-Covid vaccine for all the staff of the national health service (NHS): the minister of health, Sajid Javid, told the BBC today. "A final decision has not been made, but it is something I have in mind", Javid pointed out, pointing out how a similar measure exists in "many other countries" of Europe and how doctors and nurses not only have a greater risk of infection, but are even in contact with particularly vulnerable people.


    Despite the recent surge in infections in the United Kingdom, Javid has instead returned to indicate as unnecessary "at the moment" a restoration of the precautionary restrictions lifted by his government since July 19, nor - in spite of the solicitations of various experts or the indiscretions of the media - the introduction of plan B: a strategy held for now by the executive, compared to the current one of betting only on vaccines to keep hospitalizations and deaths at bay, which would foresee the return to the obligation of the mask in the most crowded public places, of a widespread indication for work from home and the establishment of some vaccination Green Pass also in England. Finally, the minister said he was confident that despite everything, the British could still have "a normal Christmas". (HANDLE).
