Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.
Decisions about which vaccines to approve are a matter for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), not the Government or Parliament.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
