Help put postal workers on NHS priority list for vaccinations against COVID 19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

During this time, Royal Mail has seen a lot of sickness, self-isolations and many casualties as a result of COVID-19. We would like the government to include postal workers on the list of priority groups for vaccines.
We would like the government to help the Royal Mail. We have seen many postal workers scared of coming into work because of concerns over this disease, we deliver almost every day of the week, putting ourselves at risk to give customers the service they deserve, I believe we can sustain a better service going forward if postal workers, as backed by our union, if postal workers were given the vaccine.
