Closed Prioritise front line workers aged 40+ for COVID-19 vaccination

Closed on

All front line workers aged 40+ including police, teachers, support staff, retail and transport staff should be prioritised for the COVID-19 vaccination. They should have an 'age premium' due to the increased risk of infection they face working with the public in face to face settings.

Inclusion of front line 40+ workers on the group 6 priority list will:

* Reduce the risks of mortality and 'long covid' for front line workers aged 40+ and their families by including them in group six of the vaccination rollout.

* Ensure continuity of key public services such as policing, education, retail, transport and social and home care.

* Inclusion of front line workers aged 40+ should not significantly delay the vaccination rollout as it is a small demographic group.
