Stop erecting administrative difficulties over the COVID vaccine roll-out.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop demanding medically qualified personnel who are volunteering to help the COVID vaccine roll-out fill in lots of forms and undertake training in matters irrelevant to administering a vaccine.
Because silly demands are hindering the vaccine roll-out and will cause deaths. Also they make Great Britain look utterly ridiculous.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government and House of Commons are 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 vaccinaton 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.
