Put front line emergency services staff higher on the list to receive a vaccine
Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
Paramedics, police officers & fire fighters all save our lives on a daily basis, especially throughout this COVID-19 pandemic. They deserve to be higher on the list to receive a vaccine to help protect themselves, families, colleagues, the public & the NHS from being overwhelmed.
I have my mother, father, family and friends all in the emergency services working hard to save us. The thought of one of them getting seriously ill from COVID-19 whilst not having the chance to be one of the first to receive the vaccine and risking there lives every single day, is simply wrong! Protect the people who do the most gruelling work first!!
