Prioritise vaccinations for early years teachers.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

All schools have been forced closed till mid Feb but early years have been left stranded again with no mention of the risk to teachers and children under 4. We can get ill too with more staff being at risk for catching the virus due to the ratio of staff to children. Don't we count towards anything
Vaccinate early years staff now all other schools are closed. We need protection towards coronavirus if we are to stay open.
