Allow all key workers early access to a COVID vaccine

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

People in essential work: supermarkets, construction, education, deliveries, postmen, emergency services (including doctors, paramedics and nurses) have worked throughout the pandemic, and they've regularly put their own lives on the line to protect everyone who may be clinically vulnerable.
I believe they deserve early access to a COVID vaccine because the work they've done needs to be commended.
