Beck Taxi is urging the province to immediately prioritize cab drivers for COVID-19 vaccination, noting that they are among the few essential workers who are expected to interact with known positive COVID-19 cases.

Speaking to CP24 on Monday morning, Kristine Hubbard, the operations manager for Beck Taxi, said she is constantly getting calls from drivers inquiring about when they will be eligible for a vaccine.

Many have raised concerns about that strategy, noting that not all frontline employees live in the hot spots where they work. “We are working with about 1,200 taxi drivers who are the only essential workers who are expected to interact with known COVID positive or COVID probable cases unlike any others.”
