How does ‘Vax Cash’ sound to you?
To encourage the vaccine-hesitant many States have come up with novel ways to incentivize people.
New Yorkers who get vaccinated will be given a lottery ticket with a chance to win over 5M.
After everyone who was eager to be vaccinated has been immunized, “now we’re getting to a percentage of the population that not only is not eager, but a percentage of the population that is probably going to require an incentive for them to go forward and take the vaccine,” Cuomo said.
“Troubling news” is how Cuomo described declining vaccination rates when he announced the New York lottery.
“The number of vaccinations are slowing, and they are slowing dramatically.”
Maryland also announced a lottery on Thursday for people who get vaccinated as well as Ohio in a desperate bid to get their population vaccinated against COVID.
While some nations are desperate for the vaccine, the US has to PAY some Americans to do the right thing.
