Rejected petition Add the coronavirus vaccine to the NHS vaccination schedule

Rejected on 9 November 2021

To ensure our community is fully protected we must add the coronavirus vaccines to the NHS vaccination schedule, normalising receiving the coronavirus vaccine to protect people around us.

The NHS stresses that vaccines protect you from serious and potentially deadly diseases. Since vaccines were introduced to the UK, disease that used to kill or disabled millions of people are gone or rarely seen. With the proper implementation of coronavirus vaccination, COVID -19 can become another disease that no longer affects our lives seriously. In order to achieve this, the coronavirus vaccine must be added to the NHS vaccination schedule.
