Vaccinate all staff in special needs school’s against COVID-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it a priority to vaccinate all staff working in special needs schools.
The government have deemed it necessary to keep special needs schools open to all children as they are classed as vulnerable, but not made staff a priority to receive the COVID-19 vaccine first.
Staff at special needs school’s cannot keep their distance from the children and therefore have a higher chance of catching COVID-19. If staff become ill they then can not be there to look after these vulnerable children.
