Greater participation from the industry would also ensure there is minimum wastage of the vaccines and that their delivery is expedited in an equitable and accessible manner, the industry body said

India Inc would like to be involved in the Covid-19 vaccination programme, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) said on Thursday. Asking the government to allow Indian industry to help ramp up the vaccination drive, CII said this way the target of vaccinating priority groups can be achieved faster.

CII has suggested that companies be allowed to vaccinate their employees and immediate family, and assist in rolling out the vaccine in surrounding communities as part of corporate social responsibility.
