Make Teachers and Supermarket Assistants high priority groups for COVID vaccine

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

These two groups have become forgotten about in this pandemic- the general public acts as though these groups are immune to COVID because they work in the front line too- I think our hard work through multiple lockdowns must be recognised, feeding and educating the nation one day at a time
Put teachers and school employees such as cleaners and caterers, and any person who works in a supermarket, into the top priority groups for COVID vaccinations
