Can You Ask Someone If They're Vaccinated?

As we edge closer to 70% or even 80% double vaccination targets, you might be wondering how we will all come back together in society once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted? In particular many of us are feeling anxious about how to tactfully ask friends, loved ones, colleagues and customers if they have been vaccinated, as it can be a very tricky discussion to have with lots of strong feelings involved either way. The Quicky speaks to two experts to find out how you can safely navigate this difficult conversation, especially when you know someone doesn't want to get the jab, without endangering your relationships or your health.
