Create a priority group for Key Workers in the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
After the remaining priority groups have been vaccinated, make sure that all key workers are vaccinated before distributing to the rest of the adult population.
There are deep concerns about the health and safety of key workers who feel that they have been forgotten in the vaccine roll-out.
Whilst we understand that the Government is following scientific advise on priority groups, we have experienced first-hand how devastating and crippling COVID-19 has been on delivering services that have helped keep the country going in these unprecedented times.
At a time when work is very stressful, we need positive action rather than well meaning platitudes.
