Australian supply chain workers play vital role
The Australian Logistics Council (ALC) supports calls from Ports Australia and the Australian Airports Association that all supply chain workers must be prioritised to receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
CEO Kirk Coningham: "Australian supply chain workers have done an amazing job in limiting the spread of the disease. Prioritising vaccine delivery will help ensure the natural vector of the supply chain remains disease free."
Ports Australia’s CEO, Mike Gallacher further supports why supply chain workers need to be prioritised: "Working on the front line – whether it be on a port, airport, ship, truck or train – means you’re coming into contact with high volumes of people and essential freight. Prioritising the health of supply chain workers helps prioritise the security of the supply chain and safety of Australian communities." (amh)
