Prioritise single parents (primary care giver) in the roll out of the vaccine

Closed 52 signatures

What the petition asks

Single parents who are the primary care giver of a child under the age of 18, should be prioritised for the vaccine. Some single parents who are the primary care giver, are the only parent for their child or their children. If something happens to these parents, what happens to their child?
The Government should identify single parent households and ensure they are prioritised for the vaccine in order that the children, who are reliant on one parent, are not made more vulnerable than they already are as the result of only having one parent to look after them.
