Swiggy To Bear COVID Vaccination Cost For 2 Lakh Delivery Partners

Swiggy will bear the cost of COVID-19 vaccination for its nearly two lakh delivery partners. Announcing the decision on March 24, the company also stated to cover the loss of pay incurred due to the leave taken for vaccination. It said, in the primary stage, "5,500 of Swiggy's delivery partners, aged 45 and above will be eligible to opt-in for the vaccination." Swiggy is also pushing for prioritisation of delivery partners in the vaccination drive.
