Japan Begins Workplace Vaccination Program

Thousands of Japanese companies began the rollout of their workplace vaccine programs Monday, inoculating company workers and their families.  

Some of the companies had been critical of what they said was the government's slow pace of Japan's COVID-19 inoculation campaign.    Toyota and Suntory are among the companies participating in the workplace program with vaccines provided by the government.    Thousands of people are expected to receive shots through the initiative, which is beginning just weeks before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics.
