Extend shielding to June 21st or until all CEV have both vaccinations

Closed 1,864 signatures

What the petition asks

Not all Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV)/elderly will have had their second vaccination prior to the current end date of March 31st. Extend shielding until the vast majority have had their second doses.
To fully protect people who have 'given up' over a year of their lives they need to have both vaccinations to ensure maximum safety and reduce the pressure on the NHS. Extend shielding to June 21st when majority of those shielding should have had the second dose and far more of the wider community are vaccinated thus reducing the overall risk. It is time for people not politics.
