Petition Fine people not attending Covid vaccination appointments without good reason
Make it law that if an appointment is made to have a Covid vaccination, and the appointment is not attended without a reasonable excuse, a fine is issued if not cancelled. This is to deter individuals from booking a vaccination if they don’t intend to have it, thus avoiding wasting doses.
More details
There have been instances of people not turning up to vaccination appointments. As vaccines become unusable after a short period of time, this is a waste of valuable vaccination doses that could be given to other people, optimising the vaccination programme and saving more lives.
