This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/322581

Decisions about who is clinically extremely vulnerable, and therefore subject to the Government's guidance, is a clinical decision, not a decision for the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling for people with diabetes to be given priority access to Covid-19 vaccines.
