The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Labor should establish a schedule for vaccinating food deliverers and others in high-risk occupations, she said, adding that she has submitted a request on the issue to the ministries. “Protecting these delivery personnel is in the interest of both their health and ours,” she said.
