Rejected petition Give the Covid-19 vaccine to Police Officers as a priority

Rejected on 5 January 2021

Police Officers need to have the Vaccine rolled out as soon as possible the protect the public and themselves.

The police have been operating throughout the pandemic, often being assaulted with the threat of Covid-19. Police have had to isolate without their families. Police also have to visit often the most vulnerable members of society. The vaccine could prevent police officers from becoming super spreaders and allow them to perform their duties without fear of infecting the public or each other.
