By Could you be sacked for not accepting the vaccine?
It has now been claimed that you could be sacked by your employer for refusing the coronavirus vaccine if they say you have to.
The government is currently discussing whether or not this will be something employers could implement in the future with some ministers arguing the ‘jab for job’ scheme.
However, other MPs have said this would be discrimination against those who can not have the vaccine due to health issues or chose not to have it.
They have said it is against human rights to not be able to choose what happens to their own body.
A government source had told the Telegraph: ‘Health and safety laws say you have to protect other people at work, and when it becomes about protecting other people the argument gets stronger.
Another government source said: “Businesses are increasingly interested in it because they think it can get them going sooner.”
“Given the massive success of the vaccine rollout, we shouldn’t be ruling it out completely right now.”
If this controversial rule was to be implemented people would have to prove their inoculation which adds more controversy due to privacy rules.
New data is expected next week on whether vaccines significantly reduce transmission which will help make the government’s decision.
