Grocery chains push ahead with vaccination programs despite inconsistent supply
As grocery retailers ramp up COVID-19 vaccination programs, FMI-The Food Industry Association is doing its part to help the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) resolve issues in vaccine distribution and administration.
FMI said yesterday it participated in an online public meeting hosted by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The grocery trade group voiced support for federal guidelines in vaccine allocation but said food industry employees — deemed as “essential workers” by the government — are falling short as one of the priority populations to be immunized.
