What the petition asks
Reverse the decision to not include ALL asthmatics in category 6 for the covid jab!
The government has just announced that only asthmatics that take tablets will be counted as 'at risk' for the covid jab, excluding the thousands who take steroidal inhalers daily even though they are just as much at risk of serious illness. This needs to be reversed otherwise we will be increasing the strain on the NHS. Asthma reduces lung capacity, the exact thing that covid attacks, so we should be vaccinated with the other at risk categories.
