Vaccinators should aspirate the needle prior to administering the COVID vaccine

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is directly responsible for.

Procedural and clinical decisions about public health guidance on immunisation are an operational matter for Public Health England, not the Government or House of Commons.

As a result the Government or House of Commons is not directly responsible for the action you have requested.
