As India’s daily Covid-19 cases have dropped to one lakh and twenty thousand, Indian states are slowly phasing out the regular lockdown. Meanwhile, tech companies — Amazon, Flipkart, Bigbasket, Uber, Ola, Dunzon, Swiggy, Zomato and others — that are heavily dependent upon its frontline workers have already started a free vaccination drive for these workers.“Last week, we started vaccinating our delivery partners in NCR. In one of the largest efforts of its kind, we are facilitating a free and safe vaccination drive for more than 150,000 of our frontline staff and employees. Thousands of our delivery partners are already vaccinated.”
The steps were taken by these tech startups after the government in April, 2021, had reiterated its commitment towards the free of cost vaccination to Health Care Workers (HCWs), Front Line Workers (FLWs), and all people above 45 years of age.
