Most employers want to know whether their staff are vaccinated

'Employers are facing a minefield' in relation to data protection as the vaccination programme rolls out.

While 80% of adults are expected to have received their first dose of a Covid vaccine by the end of June, the majority of employers want to know whether or not their employees will be getting the vaccine.

According to a recent study, 84% of firms believe that employers must know if their employees are vaccinated, with half of those saying employers should know but only where transmission poses a greater risk to the work environment.
