Rejected petition Introduce e-vaccination status/immunity passports to protect the British public.

Rejected on 4 March 2021

Any one wishing to attend public events or travel on public transport should be able to produce a vaccination certificate or a valid medical exemption certificate. Failure to do so should exclude them from the event or service.

If such passports are not introduced it will put many lives at risk, imperil British economic recovery and put additional pressure on the NHS.

It is not acceptable for a minority of individuals, who choose not to be vaccinated even though they are not medically excused, to put the majority at risk in the name of their civil liberties.

If they choose to not to be vaccinated, they should not expect to attend public events and travel on public transport.
