It is critical that everyone involved in the production, transfer, distribution, and administration of the vaccine be prepared. It is going to be a significant effort that will require the support and cooperation of everyone. At Global Industrial, we are proud to be in a position to help our customers get every American and Canadian safely through the vaccination process," concluded Litwin.
