Petition Action

To make a persons 'vaccination status' a protected characteristic.

Petition Details

I want the term 'vaccination status' to be classed as a protected characteristic under the equality act 2010. Vaccination status is a choice, as much as choosing to become pregnant, religious beliefs, choosing to enter a civil partnership or marriage and/or gender reassignment.

Additional Information

I want the term 'vaccination status' to be classed as a protected characteristic under the equality act 2010. Vaccination status is a choice, as much as choosing to become pregnant, religious beliefs, choosing to enter a civil partnership or marriage and/or gender reassignment.
It is against the law to discriminate against someone who has any of these protected characteristics. I fear that the unvaccinated will be next in line to be discriminated against as they are a minority group.
