Apple is going to vaccinate to all your California resident employees against COVID-19. It has reached an agreement with the pharmaceutical Walgreens Boots Alliance, and it is going to be in charge of vaccinating all its employees. Great news.
Great news for these employees, great news for the United States, where the rates of vaccines administered are spectacular, and hopeful news for the rest of the countries, which are beginning their vaccination plan little by little. It seems that the light is looming at the end of the tunnel of the happy pandemic, with more or less luck depending on the areas of the planet.
Apple has launched a new program to help its employees get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to a new report published in Bloomberg. Apple has reached an agreement with Walgreens Boots Alliance, the company that owns Walgreens, Boots and several other US pharmaceutical companies.
Through this association, Apple is preparing a website where its employees residing in California They can make an appointment to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The program is completely voluntary and those who sign up will not have to immediately return to work in person.
Apple already publicly commented last month that it did not have access to COVID-19 vaccines as a private company. Following an agreement with the state of California, you already have access to said drug. Apple is also giving its employees paid time off to receive their COVID-19 vaccine and to rest if they suffer from any side effects.
The company is working with Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. to set up a vaccination center at Apple offices. The Cupertino, California-based tech giant is putting together a website so staff can make an appointment to get vaccinated.
Apple has not yet publicly announced a date for the face-to-face return of all its employees to the offices. That said, Tim Cook has already publicly commented that the company is targeting such a full reinstatement in June.
And what vaccine have they given?
