Rejected petition Add "vaccine status" to Equalities Act as a new protected characteristic.

Add "vaccine status" to Equalities Act as a new protected characteristic, thus making it illegal to discriminate on grounds of an individual's vaccine status.

More details

No relevant legislation preventing companies from refusing people services/custom on grounds of vaccine status. Without this, we will develop a 2-tier society - those vaccinated and those who are unvaccinated. With lessons learned from history, we should strive to not exclude any group within society.
