Petition · past parliament

To include remaining asthmatics in group 6 of the COVID vaccination programme.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to review and reverse their decision on excluding all asthmatics (who are not in group 4) from group 6 of the COVID vaccination programme. All asthmatics need to be vaccinated in group 4 if severe and group 6 if mild to moderate.
Because asthma is a respiratory disease that affects the lungs. COVID 19 is a respiratory illness that affects the lungs. No risks should be taken with those who have asthma.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Prioritise all asthmatics for the Covid vaccine.
