What the petition asks
'Protect the NHS' and 'Save Lives' by continuing to fund NHS COVID boosters for Clinically Vulnerable people, including most previously shielded as CEV, rather than limiting them to over-75s, care home residents and those with severely weakened immune systems.
From autumn 2025 the Government will deny millions of Clinically Vulnerable people NHS vaccines including people with: diabetes, heart, lung or kidney disease and Down’s syndrome. They continue to face far higher health risks.
NHS vaccines are cheaper than private boosters at ~£100, and an ICU bed over £1,800 per day. We vaccinate the same people against 'flu because it also causes serious illness and death.
Keep NHS boosters.
Protect the vulnerable, the NHS, and save lives
