German discount supermarket chain Lidl said on Wednesday it is providing an extra $200 to all its US employees who get vaccinated for Covid-19, as states make shots more widely available, according to Reuters.
The announcement follows similar moves from peers Aldi and Dollar General Corp, as well as grocery delivery firm Instacart, with Lidl’s incentive among the biggest a company has offered its US workers so far.
Lidl said its employees were “eager” to get vaccinated, citing an internal survey in which nearly eight in 10 workers said they planned to get inoculated as soon as a vaccine became available.
