Crisis management expert and author Eward Segal said today that "The light at the end of the long dark tunnel that is the Covid-19 pandemic could be an oncoming train."

In his new story for Forbes.com, he wrote that "without standard and agreed-upon strategies for administering safe and effective coronavirus vaccines to workers across the U.S., the result could be a national checker board of potentially confusing and contradictory policies that could needlessly extend this national public health emergency."

In the story, Segal cites a new report by Reuters that "Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their U.S. workers to the front of the line for Covid vaccinations are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential, and who is not." In a review of state distribution plans, Reuters found "broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential, with some states clearly outlining specific worker groups and others not providing any clarity."
