Reverse the reckless extension of the 2nd Covid Vaccine from 28 days to 12 Weeks
Follow the science and reinstate the time between first and second Covid vaccine doses to 21/28 days in accordance with manufacturer, WHO, BMA, EMA, FDA etc, etc, edits. Abandonment of the prescribed dosing regime is potentially dangerous and has severely undermined confidence in Government.
The outcome of the 12 week delay is not known, it is significantly outside the parameters on which the trial was based and is therefore a highly irresponsible decision. There can be no certainty that recipients will be protected and may suffer long term consequences. The change to recommended procedure has been internationally criticised by many authoritative bodies & respected individual medical practitioners/scientists. Government has FAILED to follow it's own mantra i.e. LISTEN TO THE SCIENCE
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or House of Commons are directly responsible for, and decisions about approval of vaccines and the administration of these is a matter for various public health agencies, not the Government or House of Commons.
We have published the following petition calling for a related action, which you might like to sign:
Ban vaccines being administered in a manner not fully tested in clinical trials: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/566116
The delays to receiving the second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine has been implemented by the NHS following advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises UK health departments on immunisation, which has also been supported by the UK's four Chief Medical Officers. Their new advice and the changes to the Covid-19 vaccination programme are consistent with the temporary authorisations granted for these vaccines by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
The JCVI, Chief Medical Officers, MHRA and NHS England are all independent and operationally independent of the UK Government, so we cannot accept petitions calling for actions that these bodies are responsible for.
