Prioritise essential supermarket key worker staff for COVID-19 vaccination

Advice from the JCVI on the priority groups for a Covid-19 vaccine does not include supermarket retail staff. This petition calls for these workers, who have worked at the frontline of this pandemic, to be kept safe by being put on the priority list (when such a list is adopted by the Government).

This petition was rejected on 8th Jan 2021 as it duplicates an existing petition
