Set up scheme for people to give the cost of their Covid jab to poorer countries

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We have free vaccines and many would like to donate to vaccination overseas but it is not easy or clear to find out the best way to do this. The government could increase it’s commitment to overseas vaccination by coordinating donations and donating through schemes that already exist.
This could trigger a lot more people to donate than leaving it to individuals to come up with idea.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Charitable donations are a matter for individuals.
