Closed

What the petition asks
Couriers and Postal Workers are potential 'super-spreaders' of COVID due to each courier regularly visiting 200 homes per day.
These workers should be vaccinated against COVID without delay.
These workers should be vaccinated against COVID without delay.
These workers have worked as normal right through this pandemic from the beginning.
They can encounter more people on a daily basis than Teachers, Shop workers, or even the Emergency Services and yet have been completely forgotten about regarding inoculation.
Although deliveries are supposed to be contactless, many people (even those with COVID) answer the door before courier has stepped away.
