@mrjamesob.bsky.social 👏You’ve long challenged injustice and defended public health.
I’m asking for your voice again please.
The UK is denying free COVID-19 vaccines to many adults - unlike some other countries.
I’ve launched a petition to demand universal access.
Please would you consider sharing?

Free access to COVID-19 vaccines is a moral and public health imperative. When governments restrict access based on income, they violate the right to health and expose entire populations to preventable harm.

Older adults and those with weakened immune systems face a higher risk of COVID-related hospitalization. Infection rates appear to be declining, but it's still vital to take precautions: isolate when symptomatic, improve ventilation, wear face coverings to reduce exposure & protect those vulnerable.

Allowing unchecked spread of #SARSCoV2 is a serious risk to the health and wellbeing of our country - including the profound disability caused by Long COVID and its impact on individuals, on the NHS, on businesses, on the education system, and on the economy - a mass disabling event still unfolding!

Current NHS England policy restricts free COVID-19 vaccination to certain age groups and risk categories. Yet age alone should not determine access to protection. Anyone whose health professionals recommend vaccination should surely be eligible?
