Depends where you lived. There were a few grocery stores in Australia that banned entry without proof of vaccination at the time.

It was also widely discussed.

both of those appear to be that businesses are allowed to refuse, not forced to refuse. In general, businesses are allowed to refuse business to whomever they want, where the law has exceptions for which things you aren't allowed to discriminate against: religion, race, sex, etc. At least this is how the law works in Canada, I am willing to bet Australia is very similar.
Yes, very much the same as both countries' laws evolved from Common Law, and have legislated for Human Rights in line with UNESCO.
