CARDIFF, WALES – DECEMBER 08: A member of staff poses with a phial of Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine at a vaccination health centre on the first day of the largest immunisation programme in the UK’s history on December 8, 2020 in Cardiff, United Kingdom. Wales joined the other UK nations in rolling out the covid-19 vaccine on Tuesday, a rare moment of coordination after months of disjointedness in the four nations’ pandemic response. Wales introduced a 17-day “firebreak” lockdown in October and November to suppress the surge in covid-19 cases, but infections have continued to rise. (Photo by Justin Tallis – Pool / Getty Images)
More and more retail chains are offering to pay employees who get a COVID-19 vaccine.
The list includes Trader Joe’s, Aldi, and Dollar General, as well as the grocery delivery service Instacart.
Aldi is even looking into the possibility of setting up vaccination clinics at its warehouse and office locations to make things easier for workers.
Should all employers pay their workers to get the vaccine? Do you still go grocery shopping in person, or rely on delivery or pickup services?
