Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Marion says truckers need to be moved up in the line for Covid-19 vaccinations.

The next tier of people eligible for vaccinations, perhaps as early as next month, are so-called “essential workers.” However, officials in the State of Iowa have indicated that with a limited supply of shots, only employees who cannot socially distance at their job site will be included. Hinson says she’s interested in finding a way to get truckers on the “essential worker” list. Hinson is in Washington, D.C., where the House is expected to vote on the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package Democrats have developed.
