Rejected on 11 January 2021

The Government urgently need to prioritise shop workers and childcare providers accessing a Covid-19 vaccination in order to help prevent the spread of coronavirus and keep everyone safe.

Shop workers, teachers, nursery staff and childminders have been putting themselves and there loved ones at risk and working tirelessly everyday to help keep the country running during these unprecedented times. They are coming into contact with hundreds of people everyday and are extremely at risk of contracting coronavirus. They need to be vaccinated in order to keep themselves and members of the public safe.
