ND to vaccinate Manitoba truck drivers

By Pat Sweeney Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister calls it a “continental first.”   North Dakota will administer free COVID-19 vaccines to Manitoba-based truck drivers transporting goods to and from the U-S.   It’s called the “Essential Worker Cross-Border Vaccination Initiative.” Manitoba will make vaccination appointments in North Dakota for an estimated two- to- four-thousand truck drivers over the next six to eight weeks.   Burgum said Canada is dealing with a vaccine shortage…adding that the program should not harm North Dakota’s vaccination efforts.   “In the weeks ahead of us, I think we’re going to see excess (vaccine) supply building on the U.S. side, so this is the time to move to start working closely with our neighbors,” Burgum said.
