Speak up for people with a learning disability

Many people with a learning disability are not in any of the priority groups that will get a potentially life-saving coronavirus vaccine soon.

This is unfair and puts lives at risk. We need your help to change this.

We've prepared a message for MPs, asking them to write to write to Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to call for all people with a learning disability to be included in at least priority group 6.

Fill in your details on our online form to send the message to your MP.
