Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The Government is working with social media companies to limit the spread of vaccine misinformation and disinformation. However, there are currently no plans to introduce new legislation to limit online discussion or information specifically relating to the Covid-19 vaccine.
