Amazon Inc says it will open a pop-up clinic in its Seattle headquarters on January 24 with an aim to vaccinate 2,000 eligible members of the public against Covid-19 on the first day.

Amazon Senior Vice President of Global Corporate Affairs Jay Carney, who announced the plan in a news conference with Washington Governor Jay Inslee, said a company executive will be working with Washington State’s Vaccine Command Centre. The clinic will be hosted in partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health.

The move came a day after Reuters reported that Amazon had offered to help with the United States’ efforts involving the Covid-19 vaccine, citing a letter addressed to President Joe Biden.
