News Release


US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ANNOUNCES PILOT PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE COVID-19 VACCINATION
AMONG MINERS IN KENTUCKY, ARIZONA

Program targets mining areas in states with vaccination rates below 60 percent

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a new program designed
to encourage and help America’s miners to get the COVID-19 protections that
vaccinations offer.

The department’s Mine Safety and Health Administration will pilot the Mine
Vaccine Outreach Program to deliver free vaccinations in mining communities and
provide educational outreach to mining communities in Kentucky and Arizona on
the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention report that vaccination rates are below 60 percent in two states
where a substantial number of mining operations exist.

Participation in MSHA’s Mine Vaccine Outreach Program is voluntary and free for
mine operators in Kentucky and Arizona. Program representatives will collaborate
with the states’ mine operators to identify convenient locations, coordinate
with health professionals to administer vaccine services and develop
communication programs to address the community’s questions and concerns. On
Wednesday Jan. 26, the agency will hold a public vaccine clinic at the Kentucky
Crushed Stone Association Safety and Education Seminar in Louisville, Kentucky.
Also, MSHA will host two vaccination clinics in Arizona this week for mine
employees at the Asarco Ray Mine in Kearny on Tuesday, Jan. 25, and Asarco
Mission Mine in Sahuarita on Wednesday, Jan. 26.

“The U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration exists to
protect the safety and health of the nation’s miners from hazards in their
workplaces,” said Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health
Jeannette Galanis. “COVID-19 has killed more than 860,000 people in the U.S.
alone and like other mining hazards, it demands we take action to prevent
workers from suffering needlessly. Providing free COVID-19 vaccinations is a
natural extension of our efforts to ensure safe workplaces.”

MSHA has selected Jazz Solutions Inc., an Ashburn, Virginia, IT solutions
provider for federal, state and local governments, to administer the program.
