Abstract
This exploratory study analyses the impact of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination on the perceptions of and dynamics in nursing teams. The 27 guided interviews with nurses revealed that the pressure to vaccinate and the introduction of mandatory vaccination in healthcare led to divisions and conflictual interactions between vaccinated and unvaccinated team members. These conflicts had a negative impact on the quality of work and team awareness, resulting in an increase in the number of nurses who resigned and thus placing even greater stress on the rest of the nursing teams.
