COVID-19 vaccine more readily available to essential workers.Thomas Hesse of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 401 says he realizes there’s a shortage of the vaccine right now.
But once that is remedied, he says, workers at large operations such as the Cargill meat-packing plant in High River, Alta., and the JBS Canada plant in Brooks, Alta., shouldn’t have to wait too long.“In the coming months at some point someone’s going to make a decision about who gets the vaccination.
Will there be a priority? Will there be any prioritization of any so-called essential workers?” he asked in an interview with The Canadian Press.
