This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition To remove all unnecessary training by the NHS for Covid vaccinators
Rejected on
To remove the excessive training and allow all practitioners with previous experience of injection skills to come forward speedily .
Because it will save lives and take the pressure off the NHS and stop the hospital staff being overwhelmed and get the economy back to normal.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The training recommendations for Covid-19 vaccinators are set by Public Health England, and the application process for joining the NHS Covid-19 vaccinaton team is managed by the NHS. Both Public Health England and the NHS are operationally independent of the Government, and decisions about this guidance and recruitment are matters for them, not the Government or House of Commons.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
