Australian Companies Rewarding Staff To Get COVID Vaccine

In a bid to get more people vaccinated, big companies like Telstra, Bapcor, and Virgin airlines are offering employees rewards if they get vaccinated. Telstra announced a $200 voluntary incentive for staff members who get fully vaccinated, including those already vaccinated. Automotive parts company Bapcor is offering workers a $100 gift card, and Virgin airlines are offering staff free tickets, frequent flyer points and business class flights. NAB has a slightly different program, promising to match every employee vaccination with a vaccination for someone in Fiji or Papua New Guinea with the ‘Give the World a Shot’ program.

As Telstra chief Andy Penn said, “The quicker we are vaccinated, the quicker we are safer and stronger economically.” More vaccines are becoming available in Sydney as well, with 530,000 extra Pfizer doses now available for people aged 16-39 living in the 12 government areas of concern.
