BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina’s main transport workers group will meet on Thursday afternoon with government officials to request that the sector be included among the “vital activities” whose participants have priority to receive the Sputnik coronavirus vaccine.
An Argentine Ministry of Health spokesman told Reuters the meeting between its officials and the Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT) will take place at 5:00 p.m. local time (2000 GMT).
“The CATT demands to enter the vaccination plan against COVID-19,” the group said in a statement on Wednesday. Its leader Juan Carlos Schmid said “all the activities related to transport were declared essential and the different transport unions were working since the beginning of the pandemic.”
