Agreed. Insurance rates are bound to rise due to the financial burden of Covid. I should not have to pay extra because someone else refuses to get vaccinated.
Yep plus we are already making a bit of money from it. A few weeks ago they caught 2 people trying to enter Canada with fake cards - they were fined 20 thousand dollars. Cheers!
Unvaccinated why? If they have a medical condition which precludes it, or are still waiting for the vaccine to be available (like me), then no. Anti-vaxxers who REFUSE the vaccine should be denied insurance, period. Let them pay for their own stupidity.
Have people who are currently waiting for a Coronavirus vaccine to become available for them, considered going to a vaccination point i.e. where people have received appointments for vaccination, to inquire if there may be any "cancelled" or "missed" appointment (that's how I got my Coronavirus vaccinations)?

We just didn't get enough Pfizer, and AstraZeneca isn't safe for anybody under 60. Moderna hasn't been approved in Australia yet. I'm waiting on Pfizer, there just isn't enough in the entire country period.
To all: Did Slartibartfast read my post? The typical procedure is that where someone has received an appointment to have whatever vaccinations have been made available for them, if that person cancels their own appointment or they cannot attend, the authority may allow someone else (who turns up on speculation), to instead have that jab (meaning that set of jabs)! I suggest inquiring about the procedure in your area.

If keen, one would have to keep trying for a few days or more, to see if there was a cancellation for that day.

To all: Contributor "Kjames" wrote: "No, I think we should put them all in a concentration camp.": Not funny, yet I wonder why he makes his suggestion against those waiting for their jab?

I'm unvaccinated, I have unknown allergies, so I said it in response to the questioner in sarcasm. Hence, where do you draw the line, why stop at insurance?

I'm not a doctor, but it seems to me that there are two main types of Coronavirus vaccines. The new technology and the old. If people such as contributor "kjames" who suffer from allergic reactions, have previously had other vaccines with little issue, then they could consider having an "old" technology Coronavirus vaccine such as the "SinoVac" or the "SinoPharm". The difficulty would likely be in having to travel abroad to get them with all the expense and Coronavirus restrictions involved: https://www.who.int/news/item/01-06-2021-who-validates-sinovac-covid-19-vaccine-for-emergency-use-and-issues-interim-policy-recommendations
