COVID-19 Vaccines News

COVID-19 has profoundly disrupted the lives of seafarers, fishers and their families. Vaccination is a key tool to stop the spread of the virus and allow the maritime world to continue to function. Thankfully, vaccination efforts for foreign seafarers are now found in an increasing number of ports around the world. For information on specific vaccination programs, see https://namma.org/vaccines/ and here https://icma.as/vaccines/.
