More details
We want the government to give anyone that is allowed to be working in areas that are high risk to be seen as more important than they are. We come into contact with the public on the daily, we are all on the same category of people working from home and being furloughed. While we are out putting ourselves and families at risk, to be told we have to work through the whole pandemic come into contact with 100s-1000s of people daily to be last on the list for the vaccine if you’re healthy.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/564466
As the country is currently in a national lockdown, during which restrictions exceed those for Tier 4 areas, we think the above petition makes a similar request.
If you want the Government to prioritise critical workers in areas where Covid-19 infection rates are highest we could accept a petition requesting this.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
