Thiruvananthapuram, The Technopark here is all set to become a fully vaccinated work place by the end of this month as the vaccination drive for administering the second dose is nearing completion, officials said here on Monday. The stage is set for IT companies to resume normal operations. The vaccination drive for the second dose is in full swing with many companies inoculating their employees and family members and also the support staff. The drive led by TechnoparkEmployees Cooperative (TEC) Hospital, was started last month. The first dose of vaccination was completed in June.
Besides Technopark's initiative several companies have already completed the vaccination process. "Some companies that have already completed the vaccination process have already resumed operations. There will be a gradual increase in the number of companies returning to campus which is closely related to the vaccination numbers and school reopening. While companies may not completely shift from the work-from-home mode, more companies will return to IT parks in the coming months,” said John M Thomas, CEO, Kerala IT Parks. Technopark based technology company Qburst on Monday organised the vaccination drive to administer the second dose for Technopark’s supporting staff who help with security, housekeeping and cleaning as part of their CSR initiative.
More than 200 workers got the jabs. The company had inoculated around 400 support staffers during the vaccination drive to administer the first dose. Besides, several other companies have also vaccinated their support staff along with the IT employees. TEC Hospital has procured two lakh Covishield jabs and 30,000 Sputnik V jabs for the IT employees and their family members across Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode.
