Rejected petition Prioritise Covid-19 vaccine for Asthmatics.

As supported by Asthma UK, the government should consider that Asthmatic's with moderate to mild conditions are still prioritised for the Covid-19 vaccination before people with no underlying health conditions.

More details

On 15/2/21 the Government stated that people whose asthma is under control will not be prioritised for the Covid vaccine.
This policy applies regardless of a person qualifying for the annual flu vaccination and being at higher risk of catching Covid-19 and "long-Covid".
Even with mild conditions, Asthmatics remain at higher risk of catching Covid-19 than non-asthmatics. They should therefore be prioritised for the vaccine.
