Cognizant has now administered 125,000 vaccines to associates and their families in India as part of our previously announced Operation C3 in which we committed to  providing vaccinations for COVID-19 assistance  across the country.

To date, our COVID-19 efforts have enabled us to:

• Build several resources to support associates and their families in India, including a dedicated 24/7 emergency care helpline, virtual doctor consultations, COVID care hospital rooms with oxygen support, home quarantine care in 12 cities, enhanced insurance coverage, medical aid, and coverage for testing and vaccinations
• Hold regular vaccination drives for associates, contractors, support staff and family members, which are ongoing across all 11 cities where Cognizant operates
• Offer fully paid COVID leave for impacted associates or those serving as caregivers

“We are encouraged with the rapid progress of our efforts to deploy all available resources to help the country overcome this humanitarian crisis,” said Rajesh Nambiar, President, Digital Business and Technology and Chairman, Cognizant India. “Successfully extending 125,000 vaccines to our associates and their families in a safe and seamless manner is a remarkable achievement in such a short space of time, our first milestone reached, but we know there is more work ahead to make sure no one is left behind.”

The relief funding in India is one aspect of Cognizant’s COVID-19 response globally. Learn more about Cognizant’s actions, including the launch of Operation C3 – Cognizant Combats COVID-19 – here.
