Start donating COVID vaccines to 3rd world countries.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK has had a quick and efficient vaccine rollout with over 44 million vaccinated covering nearly all our vulnerable, 3rd world countries need support from our vaccines to protect their vulnerable too. Start a programme handing out vaccines to vulnerable people globally.
Whilst the UK and USA are fairing better with the pandemic with the release of the vaccine, third world countries are being left behind and need Government support lending vaccines to decrease their cases, support their healthcare systems and protect their vulnerable from succumbing to the virus. We've seen too many dying, it’s time to help out on a global scale as one of the top economies in the world should.
