A group of about 150 Covid-19 vaccinated and unvaccinated people made their feelings known about the mandatory vaccination of healthcare workers in Gore on Saturday. The crowd gathered at Gore Hospital to protest the lack of choice healthcare workers have regarding whether they receive the vaccination or not. The Government has mandated that health and disability workers must receive their first dose of the vaccine by 11.59pm, November 15, 2021. Part of the 150-strong crowd which gathered to protest the mandatory vaccination of healthcare workers moves down Birch Lane, near Gore Hospital, on Saturday. Linda Clement, of Gore, said healthcare workers should be able to choose what medical procedures they received.
