CLEVELAND — One month after launching onsite vaccinations to workers, Amazon is once again expanding the option to its front-line employees.
Amazon announced Friday that it will provide additional dates and times to workers in the Northeast Ohio area, now opening up the eligibility to employees at both the Euclid and Cleveland distribution centers.
"This is an important initiative not only for the health and safety of Amazon employees, but for the communities where teams live and work by helping ease the burden on community-run vaccination clinics," said a representative for Amazon in a press release.
The company offered workers the opportunity to receive a vaccine this week at the Euclid fulfillment center, giving workers time to schedule an appointment during their workday.
Amazon is also offering $80 to employees who have to pay to get vaccinated at an off-site vaccination center.
The company also says they have planned several additional vaccination clinics statewide in the coming weeks.
