What the petition asks

I want government to add in all Asthmatics to be in group six for the covid vaccine. Currently category six does not cover all asthmatics so many people will fall through the gaps
Have you ever struggled to breath, or collapsed and just can’t catch your breath I have on many occasions and have been hospitalised four times and take regular inhalers. Some times my Asthma is managed and then other times it hits me like a lead ballon and even just chatting I’m fighting to catch my breath, that’s on a normal day when I have a cold it is a nightmare so image if I caught covid and I’m not alone with out the vaccine we are trapped and forgotten because we fall through the cracks.
