Protesters chanted 'protect our children' outside Downing Street in London, at the end of a march against mandatory vaccination for British public health workers.

Thousands of protesters joined the protest, which ended outside the street in which the prime minister has his official London home.

Workers in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) are required to be vaccinated by April or they could face the sack.

The need for a delay between jabs mean the process of firing what could be more than 70,000 (protesters claim it is 100,000) as-yet unvaccinated staff could begin on 3 February.

As well as NHS staff, the crowd included supporters concerned about civil liberties, and a number of so-called anti-vaxxers.

By April 2022, 100k members of the NHS will have to be fully vaccinated or lose their jobs. In light of this draconian requirement, NHS nurses have come together to protest against such coercion, defending their medical freedom and accusing the government for a total mistreatment of the health workers over the pandemic.

Other anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine groups have jointly protested against the restrictions imposed by the government, and threaten to take to the streets should the restrictions not be lifted by 27th Jan 2022.
