Covid vaccine: Needle-phobic call for vaccine exemption
Charities and those with a phobia of needles have asked to be medically exempt from any Covid passport scheme, due to their difficulties with receiving Covid-19 vaccines.
Needle phobia causes an extreme fear of injections and in many cases anxiety around just seeing a needle.
Adam, 23, from Lincolnshire has anxiety and a phobia of needles and has tried twice to get a jab. He was encouraged to come forward after seeing a clinic offering extra support for those who need it.
A spokesperson from the Department of Health and Social Care said: "We recognise some people cannot have a vaccine for medical reasons and we are working to ensure they are not disadvantaged."
