Mountain Scene

A call for Queenstown cabbies to have early access to the Covid-19 vaccine’s been heard, just a day after
Mountain Scene reported it.
On Thursday
Scene reported cabbies, who pick up passengers at Queenstown Airport, were fuming they weren’t not being prioritised for Covid vaccinations because they’d been deemed low-risk.
But staff at rental car companies, operating from inside the airport terminal, have been offered the jab.
The owners of two of the bigger taxi companies in the resort had pleaded for the Ministry of Health to recognise the risk drivers faced of both catching and spreading the virus from airport pick-ups.
