Hotel group Accor plans staff vaccination programme
Europe’s largest hotel chain in negotiations with pharmaceutical companies to secure supplies
Europe's largest hotel chain Accor has said that it plans to pay for all of its employees to be vaccinated by late summer as it tries to recover its business amid ongoing national lockdowns. "We are not going to wait for government. We will be buying our own vaccines if we can get them but we don't want to do it [taking] from existing government programmes," said Sébastien Bazin, the French group's chief executive. "It should be not be taking away from fragile people."
