P-05-1123 Raise the priority of non-NHS public facing key workers in the roll out of the Covid-19 vaccine

This petition was submitted by Timothy Richard Woods having collected a total of 117 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

I am a telecoms engineer and have worked as a key worker throughout the pandemic. As part of my job, I am expected to go into houses under strict guidelines to maintain essential services such as broadband. Some days I can enter three or four customers properties. With the recent recording of the new, more contagious strain of COVID-19 in Wales, other key workers outside the NHS require early vaccination against COVID-19 or run increased risk of infecting the public or contracting the virus.
