Several employees like bus drivers and restaurant workers are wondering when they will be able to get the COVID-19 vaccination. The Dish Society restaurant said they were deemed essential a year ago and they should be included in Phase 1C. Earlier this week, the state opened Phase 1C, allowing people 50 years and older to get the vaccine. Mayor Turner said essential workers should be included. Imelda Garcia, an associate commissioner for Laboratory and Infectious Disease Services and chair of the Expert Vaccine Allocation Panel, was asked about essential workers and expanding Phase 1C.
