A coalition of trucking groups has issued a letter urging the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to designate truck stops and travel plazas as COVID-19 vaccination sites.
Natso, which represents truck stop owners and operators, said in the letter the nature of the trucking and truck stop industries offers a unique opportunity to distribute vaccines to essential workers such as truck drivers and travel plaza employees.
“From the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, our industries have been directly involved in the fight against this pandemic,” the letter states. “Truck stops and travel plazas serve as the home away from home for the nation’s 3 million professional truck drivers.”
Not sure if they can pull this off, but possibly the best-case scenario for drivers who want to get vaccinated without taking time off from work to do it.
