BBC Radio 5 Live is hearing what listeners think about plans to make all care home staff have a Covid vaccine.
Tina Bentley, who runs a care home in Essex, says she is absolutely behind vaccinating all care home staff.
She explains how all of her 36 members of staff are vaccinated: “From admin staff, to maintenance, everyone that entered my home on a staff level got vaccinated, and we had less heartache with that.”
Tina says she sees the Covid vaccine as a fundamental safety measure, like PPE.
“It’s not different to me putting a face mask on to protect someone. You’re trying to make them safe, that is what we are trained to do.
“So for me, a vaccine keeps everybody safe,” she adds.

But another caller, Molly, says she thinks introducing compulsory vaccines in the care sector is a “slippery slope”.
Molly, who lives in Wiltshire, used to run a recruitment agency for the care sector.
She adds: “I’m sure there will be legal challenges against this. No one should be forced to have a vaccine.”
