Our children's mental and physical health is suffering.
Children are at serious risk of physical and mental harm.
Such prolonged isolation is affecting their social and emotional skills.
The pressure on parents is pushing families to crisis point.
And a generation of kids that see their parent and carers screaming and crying on a daily basis.
This must end now!
We have a vaccine. Use it to save a generation before it's too late.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The training recommendations for Covid-19 vaccinators are set by Public Health England, and the application process for joining the NHS Covid-19 vaccination team is managed by the NHS. Both Public Health England and the NHS are operationally independent of the Government, and decisions about this guidance and recruitment are matters for them, not the Government or House of Commons.
