The health secretary has said he will not extend a deadline for staff working in care homes to be double-vaccinated, as unions and homes warn that it will cause a crisis in staffing levels.
Staff in care homes who don't receive both vaccine jabs ahead of a looming deadline should "get out and get another job", Health Secretary Sajid Javid has warned.
His warning comes ahead of the 11 November legal deadline for care home workers to have had both COVID-19 jabs, but some unions and care homes are warning that it could lead to a shortage of staff.
Mr Javid told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "If you work in a care home you are working with some of the most vulnerable people in our country, and if you cannot be bothered to go and get vaccinated then get out and go and get another job."
Nadra Ahmed, chair of the National Care Association, warned that the deadline needed to be extended for practical reasons rather than out of generosity to workers who are vaccine hesitant.
"We are not anti-vaccine," she said, explaining that the sector "needed a bit more time to get people where they needed to be" or it faced a catastrophic shortage of staff which would force care homes to close.
Mr Javid said that he would not consider extending the deadline and stressed that it was imposed for the safety and benefit of care home residents.
"If you want to look after them, if you want to cook for them, if you want to feed them, if you want to put them to bed, then you should get vaccinated. If you are not going to get vaccinated then why are you working in care?" he asked.

THE MARXIST DEMS BROUGHT COVID HERE FOR MORE THAN SIMPLY GETTING RID OF TRUMP, AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THEIR CORRUPTION. COVID WAS JUST STEP ONE OF A FAR MORE INSIDIOUS - AND DEADLY - PLAN!
How many people have to be vaccinated before they release the real virus. They are awfully desperate.
If the vaxxed would just join the unvaxxed, then profess to have a total walk out, it would all be over.
