FREE Covid Vaccination Policy – Care Home Aug 21 (Reg12-CV01)
This policy has been produced to help support the implementation of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2021 (‘the Regulations’). We have included service-specific information prompts to support CQC inspection and relevant signposting of information and data.
These regulations require registered persons of all Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered care homes (which provide accommodation together with nursing or personal care) to ensure that a person does not enter the indoor premises unless they have been vaccinated. This is subject to certain exemptions.
The regulations were laid in Parliament on 22 June 2021 and were made on 22 July 2021.
It will be the responsibility of managers to take any necessary action if this policy is not adhered to, taking into account the relevant regulatory responsibility.
