Supermarket employees to be prioritised for Covid-19 Vaccine

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like supermarket employees to be prioritised along with the vunerable, NHS staff and care staff for a Covid-19 vaccine
Supermarket employees are at risk from infection as they are in direct daily contact with the public. Supermarkets are ideal conditions for Covid-19 to spread as not all members of the public follow Covid-19 rules such as social distancing, hand sanitisation or wear a face covering (excluding those who are exempt for medical reasons.) Supermarket employees are at very high risk of contracting Covid-19. We feel like the forgotten "key workers" by this government.
