Following on from our blog a few weeks ago regarding the controversial topic of whether employers can mandate the COVID-19 vaccine within the workplace – today we outline key considerations for employers regarding employees wanting to become volunteer vaccinators.
While employers may not wish to stand in the way of employees volunteering to support the nation in its efforts to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, they do need to consider what impact, if any, this will have on their business.
There is no doubt that employees who wish to volunteer in public facing positions will be in close contact with numerous members of the community, increasing the risk of them personally contracting coronavirus. The NHS have stated that all volunteers will undergo training and be provided with supervision and personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety of staff, volunteers and members of the public. However, this is unlikely to alleviate the risk of infection in its entirety.
What do employers need to take into consideration before permitting employees to become volunteer vaccinators?
