Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On the day the Government announces a National lockdown with Schools, Colleges and Universities to shut, Early Years Settings must remain open at full capacity with no PPE and no urgency for the vaccination to be given to the staff. Vaccinate your Early Years Workers who are also on the Frontline.
I and many other Early Years Workers are continuing to work through this pandemic and a National lockdown with no PPE or Vaccination while we come into contact with numerous children and families a day putting not only ourself but our families at risk. In order for us to continue keeping staff and families safe, vaccinate Early Years Workers.
