Charities and those with a phobia of needles have requested medical exemption from any Covid passport scheme, given their difficulties in receiving Covid-19 vaccines.
Needle phobia causes an intense fear of injections and in many cases anxiety about even seeing a needle.
Adam, 23, from Lincolnshire, suffers from anxiety and needle phobia and has twice tried to get an injection. He was encouraged to come forward after seeing a clinic that offered extra support to those who needed it.
A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said: “We recognize that some people cannot get a vaccine for medical reasons and are working to ensure that they are not disadvantaged.”
