Allow priority vaccination for those working in close contact services

Closed 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Key workers are not being offered priority vaccination against Covid 19. Many of us in the self employed and hair and beauty sector for example will be likely expected to return to work prior to receiving a vaccination, yet we are amongst those working in the closest proximity to the public.
Self employed workers in the hair and beauty sector and others are eager to return to work yet are looking at waiting months for a vaccine if under a certain age bracket, yet many of us work in closest proximity to the public for an extended period of time.
