This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Vaccinate NHS workers, school children, education and key workers as priority.
By vaccinating these people as a priority we can keep the country running as efficiently as possible. Hospitals, schools and key services must be a priority, above anything else.
More details
It is important to keep the elderly protected, but many elderly people are doing a good job isolating themselves; they understand that keeping the country functioning, including the economy and education, is the most important issue right now or we face a bleak 2021 and beyond.
