Over here there is an exemption for those with legitimate reasons not to be vaccinated and there are only two reasons accepted.
The first would be an allergic reaction to a component of the vaccine within an individual, which must be confirmed by an allergist or immunologist.
The second would be if an individual suffered myocarditis or pericarditis after the first dose of a vaccine.
Initially there were many claims of exemption on religious grounds, but leaders of many faiths have stood up to say there is no reason in their creed to resist vaccination.
Employees claiming these exemptions must be tested every three days.
Visiting in hospitals is very limited and proof of vaccination is required. Husband had surgery recently and was allowed only one vaccinated visitor each day, for one hour. Adult non surgical patients cannot have visitors, unless they are end of life patients. Labour and delivery is limited to one support person.
Of course we have anti vaccine zealots, but generally the regulations are regarded to be for the good of the community at large, and cases are dropping quite quickly. This system works for us, but might not be appropriate for UK.
BTW, i agree that it has nothing to do with Hilary Clinton, or any other American. They need to get their own house in order before presuming to advise anyone else.
