This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you want the Government to make testing and vaccination available to the public, but it's not clear what legislation you want to be introduced to achieve this.

We have already published a petition calling on the Government to provide publicly accessible testing for coronavirus around the UK, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/301354

The Government has set out its plans and funding to support the development of a vaccine for coronavirus, and legislation would not be necessary to make this widely available: www.gov.uk/government/news/government-launches-vaccine-taskforce-to-combat-coronavirus

The Government has also created an online service to help you out what you can do if you’re struggling because of coronavirus: www.gov.uk/find-coronavirus-support
