Mapping the Corporate Vaccine Demand
As the second wave is unleashing its fury on the state, CII is undertaking a Project Vaccine Nation, whereby we plan to map the demand and facilitate Vaccine for Members’ employees based in various locations. CII invites Members to be part of this valuable Programme to inoculate employees, their family members and community as well. The indicative price per dose would be the same as applicable for private hospitals plus GST and healthcare provider administering charges. For submitting your Vaccine Demand, please click CoVaD: Corporate Vaccine Demand. For any clarification, your office may kindly send an email to [email protected] |
As with any National emergency, COVID 19 has presented itself in novel ways of spread and contagion – during these times of crisis, access and availability to key tools that can help all engaged stakeholders handle the situation becomes critical. Specifically for COVID-19, such consolidation of credible and usable resources could be vital to saving lives. CII brings to you a centralized repository of manufacturers and suppliers of essential medical items to fight the Covid-19 battle. (Read More)
