Hello everyone. I am 42 years old delivery staff in a cargo company.
I want to talk about the
topic that makes it clear why the group that I represent should be vaccinated after medical care workers. It is obvious that we are passing through bad times which is very rare that the world faces. However, no matter what, some works have to continue operating and important part of products that people get today are because of delivery workers. Since we deliver thousands of different products to consumers, contaminating Covid-19 to consumers or from consumers to us is very likely to happen. I think it would be appropriate to quote Dr. Silverstein who is the lecturer at Harvard Medical School in the department of Global Health and Social Medicine. Dr. Silverstein in 2020 stated that for the functioning of the society, these people are necessary, and the end of the pandemic depends on them even delivering medical equipment and tools to hospitals and pharmacies. This makes it clear how important we are in the society, we are main figure for even health care workers, although delivery staff is not prioritized to get vaccine they are delivering. Not protecting delivery people can be dangerous to the health of whole nation.
