Mandate JCVI publish full minutes for all covid vaccination meetings

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Mandate JCVI to publish all minutes for all meetings relating to covid vaccination. In addition all data relating to vaccination of children should be published, along with the data relating to the CMOs recommendation of vaccination of 12-15 year olds on 13/09/21 that over ruled JCVI advice

Minutes relating to key decisions on vaccination of children have not been published.
Announcements on child vaccination state only marginal benefits, parents must be able to understand the risks versus benefits for their child.
The decision making process is unclear, especially the decision by the CMOs to vaccinate 12-15 year olds based on educational benefits, whilst the JCVI minutes from 02/09/21 indicated no evidence of educational benefit & potential educational disruption from vaccination
