Transportation & Logistics Personnel Included in Vaccine Phase 1B Tier 2
Truckers to get vaccine in California distribution Phase 1B - Winter 2021
COVID-19 vaccines are currently available only for healthcare workers and residents of Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCFs) due to limited supplies.
CVS and Walgreens are currently administering the free COVID-19 vaccine to residents and staff in LTCFs. They started at nursing homes, which will take an estimated 3-4 weeks, and then will vaccinate staff and residents in assisted living, residential care, and other long-term care facilities.
Frontline essential workers and people 75 years and older will likely start getting the vaccines next in late winter 2021.
CTA is in contact with the Community Vaccine Advisory Committee (view CTA/Teamsters joint letter) and other stakeholders regarding vaccine distribution to the trucking industry and will update our members as we receive more information.
