Rejected petition Vaccinate teachers, school staff and Early Years practitioners against Covid-19.

Please prioritise teachers and other school staff to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. They are front line workers. Get children back to school whilst keeping school staff safe.

More details

Inclusion of school and childcare staff on the priority list would:
* provide more protection for children and their families
* reduce the chance of settings being closed for 2 weeks and working parents having to take time off work
* ensure continuity of education for children
* allow schools to return to normality faster, having a positive impact on children’s mental health
* reduce the chance of NHS workers having to stay at home with children who are isolating due to closures
