Rejected petition Staff at special schools should be on the priority list for the COVID-19 vaccine

Add staff from special schools to the priority list for the COVID-19 vaccine

More details

Carers and social care workers are given priority to receiving the COVID vaccine but not teachers and support staff at special school which have mostly stayed open during lockdown. Given most of their work involves being in less than 1m away from pupils, they should be given the vaccine early too.
