Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please provide me with the legal basis that requires me to wear a mask and/or present an exemption certificate to any non competent person in order to obtain a vaccination. Also, please provide the legal basis that would override the basis of ‘informed consent’ prior to receiving vaccination.
