Petition Action

We request you to upgrade Parkinson’s Disease to the category HIGH RISK.

Petition Details

I would like Parkinson’s Disease put into HIGH RISK category. One reason is to ensure even young onset people get the Covid 19 vaccine as soon as it is available

Additional Information

Research has shown that breathing is compromised in people who have Parkinson’s Disease.In ‘off’ time - when the medicines are not working so efficiently it is compromised further. Catching Covid 19 could be fatal.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions about who is at higher risk from coronavirus is a clinical decision for the NHS, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to prioritise all people who are clinically vulnerable to Covid-19, including those categorised by the NHS as at moderate risk, for any Covid-19 vaccine, if that's something you want to happen.
