The American company Kroger, which, among other things, owns a large chain of stores, has decided to pay employees $ 100 each for a coronavirus vaccination. Reported by CNN.
According to the TV channel, we are talking about a lump sum. It will be issued to those employees who provide the personnel department with a certificate confirming the completed vaccination. Those employees who, for health reasons, cannot get vaccinated or do not want to be vaccinated for any reason, will also be paid this amount if they agree to attend special courses on measures to prevent the spread of infection.
Currently, two vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, are approved and available to the public in the United States.
According to Johns Hopkins University, the United States is in first place in the number of coronavirus infections during the entire time of the pandemic. So, in the country, almost 27 million cases of the disease were recorded, more than 462 thousand cases died.
