Front line Police Officers in England to be “high priority” for Covid-19 Vaccine

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to consider all Police Officers in England as a “high priority group” for the Covid-19 vaccine. Please allow our front line Police Officers the opportunity to have the vaccine sooner rather than later down the line.
Police Officers all over the country are working tirelessly to protect our communities. They come face to face with members of the public every single day, putting their lives on the line so we can safely live ours. Police Officers are unable to socially distance when carrying out everyday duties whilst dealing with the public due to the high demands and emergency situations they are faced with. Prioritising Police Officers for the vaccine would protect them, their families and the population.
