Dear Comrades and Friends,

ITF launches vaccine guide for seafarers

The ITF has worked with the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) to produce a simple, easy-to-understand guide for seafarers on Covid-19 vaccinations. The independent guide explains the evidence-based risks associated with the major vaccine brands currently in the market.

The FAQ-style guide can be used by affiliated seafaring unions, ITF Inspectors and crew themselves.

In solidarity,
