India Inc getting back in biz with no-jab-no-entry, thrust on vaccine drive

Companies gear up to protect employees after second wave disrupts operations

With the threat of a third Covid-19 wave looming large, companies are scrambling to protect employees and keep operations safe-–from a no-jab-no-entry-at-workplace policy to ramping up vaccination, it’s an all-out effort to prevent the scale of devastation seen in the first two waves.

At least two top steel companies-–Tata Steel and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India)--are pushing for vaccination certificates for entry into work premises.

AM/NS India, a joint venture between world’s leading steelmaker, ArcelorMittal, and Japan’s Nippon Steel, is set to make vaccination the certificate a requirement from July 1.
