AHLA Urges Governors to Include Hotel Employees in Phase 1b of COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

Abstract

The American Hotel & Lodging Association is imploring governors across the country to include hotel employees in their tier 1b vaccination rollout. Chip Rogers, President & CEO of AHLA, stated that hotels have been supporting emergency frontline workers in forms of accommodations and quarantining since the beginning of the pandemic. Rogers believes the vaccination will add an extra blanket of security to hotel staff that are already doing all they can to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
