A Mission to Vaccinate Critical Food Supply Chain Workers

The Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) today announced they are partnering with InHouse Physicians (IHP) to help essential workers in the food and agriculture industry get the COVID-19 vaccination.

As reported in SCMR, the entire global supply chain community is under tremendous pressure to keep workers healthy until the pandemic recedes.

Through the program, GCCA members can work with IHP to submit applications to conduct worksite vaccinations for essential workers in the food and agriculture industry.

This process will help members in navigating the varying state approaches to vaccinations and enable their essential employees to get vaccinated at a designated worksite.

“Our members and others in the industry have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to ensure that Americans have access to healthy, safe, and affordable food,” said Matthew Ott, President and CEO of GCCA. “This partnership is our way of helping those who are helping the country when we need it most. By teaming up with InHouse Physicians, we will be able to help streamline the vaccination process and get these critical front-line workers the vaccine so they can continue to do the heroic work of feeding the world.”

“Since the beginning of the pandemic InHouse Physicians has been supporting clients with solutions designed to deliver on-site health security to their employees,” said Dr. Jonathan Spero, President, Founder, and CEO of InHouse Physicians. “Clients from critical infrastructure, film production, aviation, and education have leveraged our solutions ranging from temporary worksite health clinics to on-site COVID testing, and now on-site COVID vaccination clinics to support employee safety, and enable business continuity.

SCMR applauds this partnership and the opportunity it provides to assist GCCA members and their employees in the critical role they play in “feeding the world.”
