House share: vaccine

[Thirsty]

So here's a fun question.

Family member will soon (one hopes) complete on house purchase.

When renovation is complete, they plan to rent out some rooms to sharers; this will likely be towards the autumn.

Can they legitimately ask prospective house sharers to show they have had the COVID vaccine?

You can certainly refuse to take a smoker, for example. Would a non-vaccinated person be the same?

There’s no law against discriminating on those grounds.

Vaccine prevents from severity of infection by preparing body defence. The person can still get and spread infection. The downside is that a vaccinated person may have no or little symptoms and may not be aware that they are spreading infection..

So if they are cautions of Covid-19, they should wait for pandemic to be over..

Why do you think the renovation won't be completed by autumn?

personal opinion, but I don't believe there will be an 'over'; the virus will become endemic as H1N1 is.

...a better standard of housemate anyhow.

Seriously? Being vaccinated means you will empty the dishwasher and not use someone else's milk?

...it was common for places to ask for English speakers only.

That's dreadful.
