Technopark Thiruvananthapuram is all set to become a fully vaccinated workplace by the end of this month as the second dose vaccination drive nearing conclusion. The stage is set for IT companies to resume normal operations. The second dose vaccination drive is in full swing with many companies inoculating their employees and family members and also support staff. The drive led by Technopark Employees 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 vaccination. “Some companies that have already completed vaccination have 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 model, 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 organized a second dose vaccination drive 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 first dose vaccination. Besides, several other companies were also vaccinated their support staff along with 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.
