The Colorado Restaurant Association fired off a letter to Gov. Jared Polis on Wednesday night after an updated prioritization list for vaccines was released earlier in the day showing that restaurant workers, who make up 10% of the Colorado workforce, appear nowhere on that list. The industry letter, obtained by Colorado Politics, pleaded with Polis to give priority access to vaccines to front-line restaurant and food service workers, once the needs of healthcare workers, first responders and at-risk populations are met. "It appears as if restaurant workers at not explicitly included in Phase 1B of the vaccination distribution plan," wrote Sonia Riggs, the association's president and CEO. If this is true, "we implore you to reconsider! Restaurant workers should be classified in the same category as grocery store workers as they directly interact with the public and provide much needed access to food.
