Air India on Monday told its employees that it will not be able to hold COVID-19 vaccination camps for them at the Delhi airport on Tuesday and Thursday due to “non-availability” of vaccines.
The airline had last Tuesday said it would vaccinate all its employees against COVID-19 by the end of this month as a pilots’ body demanded inoculation of the flying crew on priority basis citing risk to their lives from the deadly infection.
In a communication to employees on Monday, Air India said: “The proposed COVID vaccination camp at GSD Complex, Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on May 11 and May 13 stands cancelled because government authorities have expressed inability to hold these camps due to non-availability of vaccines.”
