Rejected petition Antibody deficient patients given Covid-19 antibody treatment prophylactically

Before scrapping of self isolation rules for those who test positive to Covid-19, all those and others with antibody deficiency will be able to receive the antibody therapies prophylactically to prevent serious illness when those testing positive are allowed to walk around anywhere they like.

More details

If not then the feeling amongst antibody deficiency patients that we are seen as second rate citizens and an inconvenience during this pandemic is true and highly disappointing

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about patient care, including the prescription of antibody therapies, are a matter for the NHS and individual clinicians, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government not to end requirements to self-isolate until people with certain medical conditions have received a particular treatment, if that's something you would like to happen.

Do not end legal obligations to self-isolate if people test positive for covid: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/606834

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