Ensure all asthma sufferers taking daily steroids are included in Group 6.
Government promised to vaccinate those with underlying health conditions in Group 6. These are people who were considered ‘clinically vulnerable’. Asthma sufferers who have to take daily steroids are now excluded from this group. This must be changed!
Asthma attacks are often triggered by viral infections. Asthmatics are at greater risk from Covid. This us a simple, logical connection.
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:
Decisions about who is clinically extremely vulnerable is a clinical decision, not the responsibility of the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling for people who are judged at moderate risk (clinically vulnerable) from Covid-19 to be given increased priority in the Covid-19 vaccination programme, if that is what you want to happen.
