Labour is calling for keyworkers in critical professions to be added to the first phase of the vaccination programme.
As deaths from the virus reached the tragic 100,000 milestone, Labour is calling for a faster, wider, vaccination programme where keyworkers most at risk of exposure are prioritised alongside those most likely to become seriously ill. Labour’s call for an expanded first-phase would see the JCVI draw up a list of critical workers prioritised for the vaccine alongside over 50s, 60s, and people with underlying health conditions.
