Mumbai, July 12, 2021: Speedy vaccination is the single biggest weapon in our arsenal to fight the Covid battle and safeguard ourselves, our families, and our country. India has administered over 27 crore doses of the anti-Covid vaccine so far, according to official data from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. That is still less than 5% of our population. Ground reality reflects a significant challenge of vaccine hesitancy. If India has to win over the deadly virus, people need to be encouraged to be vaccinated.
Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, announced that its business, Godrej Appliances has introduced an innovative campaign to encourage people to take jabs. They have introduced a one-of-its-kind special offer of 6 months extended warranty free on purchase of all Godrej Appliances, across all channels, for customers who have received at least one covid-19 vaccine dosage. The idea is simply to associate vaccination with greater positivity and applaud those who are setting the right example for our larger communities. The offer which is valid till 22nd August 2021 is available on all B2C Godrej Appliances.
Commenting on the issue of vaccine hesitancy Padma Shree Presidential Awardee and Dr. B. C. Roy Presidential Awardee, Doctor Prof. Sanjeev Bagai; Chairman, Nephron, said, “Taking vaccination is of paramount importance as it provides much-needed protection from the virus. Vaccination is a critical tool in the fight against the virus, and we firmly believe that people should not be hesitant to get vaccines. To overcome this, confidence and trust need to be built amongst them, in addition, aggressive public awareness needs to be driven.”
Commenting on the initiative, Kamal Nandi – Business Head and Executive Vice President – Godrej Appliances, said, “As a responsible brand and cold chain technology partner to India’s Covid vaccination drive, we understand that the only way to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic is to take all necessary precautions and get vaccinated at the earliest. However, vaccine hesitancy remains a very real barrier in this drive and we are witnessing it at close quarters. We, therefore, decided to take tangible action. Thanking those who are countering this vaccine hesitation by getting themselves and their loved ones vaccinated thus encouraging others to do the same, we have launched this thoughtfully crafted 6 months extended warranty free, on purchase of any of our B2C products, to customers who have taken at least one dose of Covid vaccine. Our trade partners and customers have welcomed this initiative wholeheartedly. It’s a small measure from our end in this fight against Covid-19. #Let’sWinWithVaccination.”
