Alberta truckers will be vaccinated in the US
Another Canadian province is sending residents to the States for vaccination.
Starting May 10, commercial truck drivers from the province of Alberta who are allowed to transport goods in the United States will be able to get vaccinated in Montana. As part of the new programme, 2,000 drivers will be able to be vaccinated.
"We are very grateful to Montana Governor Gianforte for his generous donation of vaccines to protect our truckers. Alberta depends on trade with our American neighbours, and this program will ensure our goods reach the U.S. market while helping to prevent a COVID-19 surge," said Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.
Vaccinations will be free from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, but the program will only run through May 23. You do not need to sign up in advance. The State of Montana will provide the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to Canadians.
Alberta is not the first province to agree with the States to vaccinate its residents. The province of Manitoba has an agreement with North Dakota to immunize teachers and other education workers. Canadians are also flying to the United States on their own to get vaccinated.
