On Tuesday it was announced NHS staff in England will have to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, with a deadline expected to be set for April next year.

Covid vaccines were made compulsory for care home staff in England in June.

Health Minister Robin Swann said introducing such measures in Northern Ireland would be a significant development that should only be undertaken after careful consideration.

The consultation will also cover mandatory flu vaccines.

"Vaccination is central to our efforts to support health and social care services during this extremely challenging winter and beyond," said the health minister.

"I remain convinced that persuasion is the best and most effective option when it comes to vaccination."

Mr Swann said there were compelling arguments that mandatory vaccination for existing health and social care staff in Northern Ireland could be counter-productive - potentially destabilising an already fragile workforce.
