Exempt people with phobias of needles from any Covid-19 vaccination requirements

What the petition asks
The Government should create legal exemptions for people with needle phobias from all requirements relating to vaccination against Covid-19, so that are treated no differently to people who have been fully vaccinated.
For 27 years I have carried the effects of a traumatic vaccine event. After 10 yrs of therapy, I am still struggling and am on my 3rd attempt at dose 1. People with needle phobias have spent 18 months terrified of Covid and the vaccine.
I don't qualify for medical exemption, but the lack of exemption is unjust and counterproductive: it dehumanises and adds pressure to attempts.
