FedEx is shifting gears to help get deliveries of the COVID-19 vaccine around the U.S. back on track after harsh winter weather slowed shipments.
The company on Friday said it will route vaccine doses through its second-largest hub in Indianapolis, Indiana, as well as regional hubs in Oakland, California, and Newark, New Jersey, to make up for weather-related disruptions at its main hub in Memphis, Tennessee. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said earlier this week that the winter storm that affected a large swath of the U.S. also hampered deliveries of the COVID-19 vaccine.
