Dear Oxfordshire County Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Oxfordshire County Council's handling of my FOI request 'Covid-19 Vaccinations'.
Thank you for the information you provided on 21 July 2023.
I would like more information concerning the entry of 21 November 2021, the Managers Briefing which stated: "Self-service COVID vaccination reminders. If you receive a reminder in your IBC portal inbox about your team’s COVID-19 vaccination status, no action is required as this is no longer a condition of employment. To remove the reminder from your inbox, please click on ‘ok’ at the bottom of the screen"
What is the context of this message? Was it an email that was sen to staff, or was it posted on the Council's website or intranet?
Within the information you provided, I could find no reference to mandatory covid vaccination as a condition of employment.
Who was required at Oxfordshire County Council to be vaccinated against covid as a condition of employment?
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
Yours faithfully,
Jim Turner
