Food Supply Industry Seeking Priority in COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

Trade groups ban together in an effort to protect U.S. food workers.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, over 70,000 food system workers in the U.S. have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Food & Environment Reporting Network, and the number of cases keeps rising at alarming rates.

Consequently, it’s no surprise that with Pfizer and Moderna reporting 90% or more effectiveness of their COVID-19 vaccines in clinical trials, a number of trade groups have sent a letter to the White House and are in discussions with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team, urging them to give food processing and agriculture workers priority access to COVID-19 vaccines when they become available.
