Yet, the concern is growing for those essential workers, as data leads the way in overall COVID-19 handling, but also specifically for vaccine distribution."Amazon continues to operate profitably, it has been less than forthcoming about it's operations and its practices to protect workers from COVID-19," California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Monday.Becerra led the California Department of Justice in filing a petition against Amazon Monday, saying the company failed to give them proper information about coronavirus impacting their staff.ABC10 asked Becerra if the alleged lack of information would impact vaccine roll out and essential worker's place in line for the vaccine."Depending on the information and the information we may not be getting, certainly that would impact the way our state or local governments proceed with the distribution of the vaccine," Becerra said.&nbsp;For those not on the frontlines, the wait may be a couple more months for the vaccine.The Vaccine Tool Calculator has its third phase consisting of young adults, children and more workers.

We encourage anyone to compare our speed and actions in this area to any other major employer.”&nbsp;-Amazon spokespersonWATCH NEXT:The owner of Rick's Dessert Diner says the closure is only temporary, saying business slowed due to the new stay-at-home orders.Paid AdvertisementNotifications can be turned off anytime in the browser settings.No ThanksAllow
