Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. today announced that it will begin to offer COVID-19 vaccines to company employees and related parties at its work sites in Japan from July 1.

With the cooperation of medical institutions, Fast Retailing will start its program at three locations in Tokyo, including Fast Retailing and UNIQLO headquarters. To prevent possible infection at home and the company, Fast Retailing plans to also offer vaccines later to family members of employees, temporary employees working at headquarters and related locations, as well as employees of business partners providing cleaning services, cafeteria operations, and security for Fast Retailing.

Overview of first vaccination program

Start Date: July 1, 2021
Locations: Three locations in Tokyo, including Fast Retailing global headquarters in Minato-ku and UNIQLO global headquarters in Koto-ku
Eligibility: Employees who wish to be vaccinated, including store employees in the Tokyo Metropolitan area - Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama - family members of employees, temporary employees, and employees of business partners who work at Fast Retailing headquarters or related locations in the Tokyo Metropolitan area.
Target number: Approximately 18,500 employees

Fast Retailing will gradually extend its program to offer vaccinations to store employees and their family members who live outside the Tokyo Metropolitan area by seeking cooperation from medical institutions and companies able to jointly provide vaccines at workplaces and thereby improve vaccination rollout.

As a longstanding employer, Fast Retailing is committed to creating a safe work environment for its employees through the vaccination program and will continue to implement measures at its stores and headquarters to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
