BLACK cab and private hire drivers across Bury are being urged to get their Covid-19 vaccination due to the vital role that they have been carrying out during the pandemic.

Cllr Eamonn O’Brien, Leader of Bury Council, said: “Our taxi and private hire sector play a hugely important role in moving people around the borough and over the past year they have been a vital link for vulnerable people to be able to get to crucial services.

“But being on the frontline does puts drivers, alongside other key workers, at more risk of catching the virus.
“It is therefore incredibly important that everyone gets vaccinated when they are get called forward to do so, especially our taxi drivers.

“I would like to thank all our volunteers, our partners in the Primary Care Networks, Bury CCG, the Northern Care Alliance and Fairfield Hospital, and Public Health for their work in vaccinating so many people and arranging vaccination sessions for key workers.”

Cllr Tamoor Tariq, Deputy Leader of the Council echoed the leader’s call.

He said: “With more than 104,000 people vaccinated in the borough there is great progress being made.

Must be some thick drivers out there that need to be urged to get a jab that could save your life, or merely your short term livelihood.
