Uber asks governments to prioritize its drivers' access to the coronavirus vaccine Follow Us Question of the Day By Ryan Lovelace - The Washington Times - Friday, December 11, 2020 Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is urging states to prioritize his company’s drivers when determining who will obtain access to forthcoming COVID-19 vaccines. “I’m asking governors in all 50 states + DC to prioritize drivers & delivery people for early vaccine access,” Mr. Khosrowshahi tweeted on Thursday. “These frontline workers should get the vaccine before people like me.” Earlier this month earlier made a similar pitch to the federal government, and wrote to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to recommend the CDC designate its drivers and delivery people as non-health essential workers to gain access to the vaccine first.
