I would like Parkinson’s Disease put into HIGH RISK category. One reason is to ensure even young onset people get the Covid 19 vaccine as soon as it is available

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about who is at higher risk from coronavirus is a clinical decision for the NHS, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to prioritise all people who are clinically vulnerable to Covid-19, including those categorised by the NHS as at moderate risk, for any Covid-19 vaccine, if that's something you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
