MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- UrgentCareTravel (UCT) announces that it is teaming up with St. Christopher Fund to offer free flu vaccines to professional drivers. Already facing a challenging lifestyle on the road, drivers need assistance to help them stay healthy, but also need these medical services where they work – on the road. With a network of medical clinics located at Pilot Flying J, UrgentCareTravel offers convenient medical clinic locations to minimize drivers' downtime. That means drivers can receive the free flu vaccine and other medical services they need right where they fuel, eat and take care of personal needs.
"Drivers are the backbone of the economy. But 50% of the drivers on the road already face the challenges of dealing with pre-existing conditions, including hypertension and diabetes," said Siva Suresh, CEO of UrgentCareTravel. "Offering free flu vaccines to drivers, along with our walk-in medical clinic services and Health Network, is simply the right thing to do help drivers stay healthy and on the road."
"We are pleased to partner with UrgentCareTravel to offer free flu vaccines to drivers," stated SCF Executive Director Dr. Donna Kennedy. "The trucking industry needs its drivers to be healthy, and we appreciate UrgentCareTravel stepping up to offer flu vaccines and medical services to fleets and drivers."
