Amazon Offers to Help President Biden
With Distribution of COVID-19 Vaccines.
The company has offered to help Joe Biden
achieve his goal of vaccinating 100 million
Americans in 100 days. .
Amazon Worldwide Consumer
CEO Dave Clark made the offer
on Wednesday in a public
letter addressed to Biden.
We are prepared to leverage our
operations, information technology,
and communications capabilities and
expertise to assist your administration's
vaccination efforts, Dave Clark, via statement.
Clark went on to say that Amazon could
make a “meaningful impact” in the “fight against
COVID-19” thanks to the “scale” of its operations. .
In addition to offering help, Clark also called
for Amazon’s 800,000 U.S. employees to receive COVID-19
vaccines “at the earliest appropriate time.” .
The essential employees working at Amazon
fulfillment centers, AWS data centers, and
Whole Foods Market stores across the
country who cannot work from home
should receive the COVID-19 vaccine at
the earliest appropriate time. , Dave Clark, via statement.
According to Clark, Amazon has an “agreement” with a
licensed third-party occupational health care provider.
That provider could administer COVID-19 vaccines to
Amazon employees on-site at Amazon facilities. .
We are committed to assisting your
administration's vaccination efforts as
we work together to protect our employees
and continue to provide essential services
during the pandemic, Dave Clark, via statement
