Czech government grants vaccinated state employees two days paid leave to encourage them to get Covid-19 jabs
State employees in the Czech Republic who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus are to be given two additional days off, as the authorities in the Eastern European country seek ways to expand its immunization campaign.
âThe aim is to have maximum vaccination, to protect ourselves against the infection from abroad,â Czech Prime Minister Andrej BabiÅ¡ said as he announced the governmentâs decision on Friday.
This is the main task: inoculate, inoculate, inoculate.
Of its population of 10.7 million, the Czech Republic has so far fully vaccinated 4.74 million people. But the cabinet believes itâs not enough, given the countryâs almost 1.7 million cases and more than 30,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic.
âWe have enough vaccines,â the PM said, insisting they must be put to use.
The vaccinated government employees will be able to use their two paid days off at any time before the end of the year, he said, assuring citizens that it âwonât become a burden for the state budget.â
