KEIGHLEY Trade Union Council endorses the call made by the shopworkers’ union USDAW urging the Government to prioritise retail staff, shop and delivery workers during the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine. These workers form a very large part of Keighley’s workforce. They should receive vaccinations alongside other vulnerable groups. These vaccinations could take place at suitable supermarket pharmacies, avoiding additional pressure on already-hard-pressed public services. Supermarket, shop and delivery workers come into contact with thousands of members of the public every day. The Office for National Statistics estimates that one person in 50 has tested positive for Covid-19 in England. With a footfall of tens of thousands of customers each week, supermarket workers are at extreme risk of being exposed to and contracting the virus. It is imperative that this group of workers is vaccinated at pace alongside other frontline workers like teachers, transport workers, etc.
