Restaurant workers (including servers, runners, bussers, etc.) are the only frontline workers who routinely come in contact with customers not required to always be wearing a mask in public. (Montana Samuels/Patch)
NEWTON, MA More than 100 restaurant workers are set to be vaccinated Monday, thanks to a push from the Newton Needham Regional Chamber of commerce and collaboration across the city. We ve been worried about so many of our front-line workers, but particularly our restaurant workers, who are the only group who face people who are not wearing masks, Chamber President Greg Reibman said.
So the chamber reached out to the city, and Mayor Ruthanne Fuller connected them with the Holtzman Medical Group, which runs a clinic on the UMass Mount Ida campus. They were able to reserve 120 vaccination spots for those who work at local restaurants.
