Make teachers a priority group for vaccinations against COVID-19.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Make teachers a priority after essential NHS workers for the vaccine.

Teachers are front line workers, and like NHS, are face to face daily with COVID-19 despite all the procedures put in place for social distancing. Students in Year 11 are suffering the consequences of lockdown from Y10, teachers and year groups isolating due to potential infections. Mental health and well being of staff and students are at a low and we need to keep the schools open and going for the sake of the country.
