To say no to going back to office until I've had vaccine & restrictions lifted?

[Willow79]

I live in Scotland and have been wfh for a year. I'm late 20s and asthmatic. Basically I wouldnt feel safe going back to physical work until I've at least had the vaccine. I know I'm young but I have friends with long covid and the prospect really scares me.

Anyway over the last 2 weeks my boss has been asking colleagues to meet our clients in physical meetings again. They travel there together by car and spend time with multiple teams of people.

Today was the first time the boss suggested I do this soon and another client also put pressure on me for the first time saying they want to meet soon as things go back to 'normal'.

AIBU to not want to do this seeing as the rule is a phased return to work in June?

Surely the way to reduce the risk to those who are unable to work from home (shop staff, teachers, hospitality workers, nhs staff and many many other key workers) is for those who can work effectively from home to continue to do so whilst the vaccination programme is rolled out? This is accounted for in the government road map which has working from home for those who can until 21 June at the earliest. If your role can be done effectively from home your employer should be following the government road map.

OP are you in a union? If so please contact them and they should be able to advise further.
