There are several precedents for new vaccinations/inoculations to be mandated after an individual has commenced work in a given trade or profession. The obvious one is HM Forces, but I suspect there are others.

Taking the HM Forces. What are the rules upon joining about vaccination? Is vaccination for existing and new viruses compulsory? I dont think it was a condition of employment for Care home workers to be vaccinated for existing and new viruses and this is a massive difference between the two if it is compulsory for the forces to be vaccinated and I think therefore unrealistic to compare the two.
