SBI General Insurance will sponsor the cost of vaccination for its agents and point of sales representatives (PoSPs).
Agents can also get their immediate family members like spouse, children, dependent parents and in-laws to avail covid vaccines free of cost. The general insurance companies will bear cost of up to four vaccines for agents.
The vaccination is extended to all agents who are actively doing business with SBI General since March 2020.
In a press release, PC Kandpal, MD and CEO SBI General Insurance said, “The covid-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for businesses and people across the world. It’s certainly commendable to witness our own covid warriors i.e. our channel partners, who have stood firm and helped the organisation navigate the uncertain environment. Through this initiative, we aim to honour our channel partners – agents & POSPs and encourage them to get vaccinated at the earliest to protect themselves and their families.”
Currently, the insurer has close to 23,000 sales representatives from SBI Bank and 12,000 individual agents.
