A whistleblower has warned LBC that a top London hospital is laying off an entire team of vaccinators - despite mounting concerns about the spread of the deadly Mpox virus.

As a result of changes to the national immunisation strategy, which is returning to a ‘business as usual’ state, sixteen assessor vaccinators in Guy’s and St Thomas’s Covid Prevention and Intervention Service will lose their jobs or be moved into other roles in the trust. The Hospital is one of only five High Consequence Infectious Disease Centres in the country dealing with Mpox, and played a central role in the vaccination programme during the last outbreak of the virus in 2022.

“It started off like any other viral infection - high fever, body pain and muscle aches,” he explained. “A couple of days later, a couple of pimples and lesions started around my body… in two weeks’ time, I reached a state that the scar in my face, the lesion on my face, had spread and my throat was shut down with lots of lesions. I wasn’t able to move - the pain was unbearable.”Having been admitted to hospital still unaware he had Mpox, Mr Tulunay feared for his life.
