But expressions of support or not, for the time being the dance teacher is relatively alone. Industry associations of, for example, restaurant and café owners and driving schools have not yet received any questions from members who are also considering asking their customers for a vaccination certificate.
“We have not received any questions about a vaccination certificate. However, some entrepreneurs have indicated that there is sometimes a discussion with guests who believe that the rules, including the one and a half meters away, no longer apply to them because they have been vaccinated” , says a spokesperson for the Koninklijke Horeca Nederland.
Is it allowed?
As far as shops, gyms or hairdressers would like it, there is still the legal question: can you refuse people without a vaccination certificate? According to Martin Buijsen, professor of health law at the Erasmus School of Law, there are doubts about this.
An advisory report from the Health Council states that private organizations have a duty of care towards their customers or visitors, and they could therefore ask for a vaccination certificate, he explains. But only if there is no less drastic alternative available.
