This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.

Decisions about which vaccines to approve are a matter for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), not the Government or Parliament.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
