Closed petition Seek to extend Brexit transition to ensure effective Covid-19 vaccines movement

Closed on 30 May 2021

The Brexit transitional period ends on 31st December. The Government should seek to extend free movement of goods due to the Covid-19 outbreak, to prevent any impact on the movement and distribution of the vaccines.

Whether a Brexit deal is achieved or not, it is becoming increasingly obvious the UK will face hurdles importing goods after 31st Dec 2020. This includes vaccines that are crucial for containing and eliminating the outbreak. We cannot afford any added pressure on the vaccines movement and distribution if the goal is to ensure the health of both people and the economy. Vaccines will likely prevent deaths caused by Covid-19 which ought to be of the utmost importance.
