Prioritize supermarket (key workers) for the covid 19 vaccinations.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Make all retail staff (especially supermarket workers) a priority for the covid 19 vaccinations. The government have called for supermarket to stay open so we can feed the nation. There should be priority for these key workers as they mix with huge members of the public everyday.
Key workers in retail (particularly supermarkets) have worked continuously throughout the pandemic. We have to mix with 100’s of different people on a daily basis and it’s almost impossible to avoid social distancing. As the government as declared supermarkets essential its only fair we should be made a priority when it comes to vaccinations. Unfortunately we can not control the amount of people we mix with who could potentially be carrying the virus.
