We are calling on the Government to let all pharmacies play a part in the UK’s Covid-19 vaccination programme - and we need your help.

The ‘Shot in the Arm’ campaign was born after thousands of readers and members of the public all over the UK expressed concern about the way vaccines are currently being rolled out. Many have noticed elderly people being asked to queue up outdoors in order to receive a vaccine.

As part of the campaign, a petition has been launched, calling on Boris Johnson to ensure that every person in the UK has the ability to get a jab without travelling further than 10 minutes from home, by bringing in the large network of local pharmacies into the vaccination programme.
