Truck stop vaccines for drivers


The National Association of Truck Stop Operators (Natso) in the USA along with a coalition representing trucking fleets and truck drivers in need, have urged the US centres for disease control (CDC) to designate truck stops and travel plazas as mobile vaccination sites to leverage existing truck stop locations for the distribution of vaccines to professional truck drivers and truck stop employees.

 

Utilising these locations as mobile vaccination sites would alleviate significant challenges that truck drivers currently face in receiving an expedient vaccine, the groups said in a letter to CDC.

 

Natso was joined in signing the letter by the American Trucking Associations, the Truckload Carriers Association, National Private Truck Council, National Association of Small Trucking Companies, St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund and the Tank Truck Carriers. (ben)
