Vaccination of employees isn’t considered a community activity. But it should be. A clarification from MCA is needed
The government recently allowed corporates to vaccinate their employees at their premises. This decision has led to many companies chalking out plans to get their staff and their immediate families inoculated against the novel coronavirus.
While there is a section that believes that responsible companies should in any case spend on employee vaccination, another set feels it should be considered a social responsibility and, therefore, a part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
