Prioritise the extremely clinically vulnerable for COVID-19 vaccine

Closed 1,306 signatures

What the petition asks

I have incurable cancer and have spent the year shielding or isolating.

I am 63. According to the interim advice of the JCVI, a perfectly healthy 66-year old should receive any vaccine before me.

In my view the prioritisation criteria are wrong where age is placed before vulnerability.
