Prioritise people with Learning Disabilities for the Covid-19 Vaccine

We are joining forces with Mencap to ask the government to prioritise people with a Learning Disability to be put in at least group 6 of the Vaccination priority list.

You can get involved too by writing to your MP.

Mencap has made this even easier by following this link you can see a draft letter and find out your MP it also gives you all the facts you will need about this issue.
