Seafarers’ House is assisting by transporting health care workers directly to ships dockside to administer vaccinations.

'We are grateful to the state of Florida and our cruise line partners for making the vaccines available to those at sea,' said Jonathan Daniels, Port Everglades chief executive and port director. 'This is a vital humanitarian effort to reach crew members who often don’t have access to landside medical facilities.
