Should You Ask Vaccination Status Of Those Visiting Your Home?

GP Dr Illona Duffy is on The Saturday Social with Rachael Ryan for the month of November.

She is answering questions and queries from listeners.

This week she had a query from Fionn who was wondering if you have the right to ask the vaccination status of people coming to your home.

You might help me with an issue I'm sure many will have over coming months. My housemate had a couple of friends over last weekend for a few drinks, it was only at the end of the evening did I find out they were both unvaccinated. It made me feel very uncomfortable when I found out, and worried that I have been exposed to COVID. It's a very awkward situation which I'm sure will be happening all over the country in weeks to come. Can you tell me, are unvaccinated people more likely to carry and spread COVID? Should people have the right to ask others coming to their home for their vaccination status?

Here is Dr Illona's advice:
