What the petition asks

Young British army soldiers should have the opportunity to decline the COVID-19 vaccine without facing disciplinary action.
Any rollout on young people should not be compulsory until trials are complete and the long term findings are published and peer-reviewed on long-term safety data.
The Government has an ethical duty to act with caution and proportionality and respect freedom of choice.
