Ola has administered the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine for over 50 percent of its employees and their dependents, the company said on May 26. So far around 12,000 people, including the employees, contractual workers and dependents have been vaccinated. However, this initiative doesn't cover drivers who ply on Ola.
