Front-line transportation workers 'concerned' over lack of vaccine access
For nearly a year, the job duties of aviation employees on the front lines including contact with travelers, crossing state lines and working in close proximity, have become more perilous amid a global pandemic.
"The nature of our work and our facilities don't allow for social distancing," Jenny Benjamin an air traffic controller at the Denver/Centennial Tower said. "I work in a small round tower about 14 feet across. At times there are almost ten people in that small space."
Travel has always been deemed essential during the pandemic, but for those in the industry getting a vaccine remains elusive.
'Everybody's anxious'
Joe Shuker has been screening thousands of people every day, patting them down, at the Philadelphia International Airport, since the pandemic began. The agency has been hit particularly hard, reporting almost 6,500 positive COVID-19 cases since March.
