It was revealed that Uber sent an open letter to all U.S. governors on December 10 (local time) calling for drivers engaged in its dispatch service and food delivery to be given the corona19 vaccine first.
On December 3, Uber released a letter to the CDC of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demanding that drivers working in dispatch services and food delivery will be able to get the Corona 19 vaccine first. In this open letter, it is explained that even under Corona 19, vaccination will be given to people in essential occupations, which will lead to reducing the risk of spreading infection. In conformity with this, on December 10, 2020, Uber sent an open letter to the governors.
According to reports, in an open letter from Uber, CEO Dara Kosroshahi said that over the past nine months, dispatch services and food delivery drivers have been the lifeline of the community. It was claimed that a local restaurant with little access had helped keep the business going. He also appealed that people in these occupations should be given the corona 19 vaccine first.
He wrote in an open letter that the Uber app could also provide information about vaccinating the Corona 19 vaccine for Americans.
It is reported that two corona19 vaccines, BNT162b2 developed by pharmaceutical company Pfizer and ChAdOx 1 nCoV-2019 developed by AstraZeneca, showed high effectiveness. Vaccination guidelines are still lacking, so in the United States, decisions about who will get the vaccine first can be left to the state. Therefore, more than 20 large corporations are asking for their employees to be prioritized.
Officials in the US say that if the vaccine is approved soon, it will distribute enough vaccines to reach 20 million people by the end of the year and protect all US healthcare workers. Related information can be found here .
