The Flipkart Group will fully cover the Covid-19 vaccination cost for all Flipkart and Myntra employees and their three dependents, said the e-commerce company Tuesday as it joined other companies in helping its workforce against a disease that till date has killed 157,985 people in India.

Employees can choose to be reimbursed for the vaccination or get it free at a partner hospital. Alternatively, they can choose to participate in any future vaccination drive organized on campus or facilities at major locations. The Bengaluru-based firm competes with Amazon. Flipkart has about 12,000 employees.
