US offers prizes to boost vaccine rates
People in the United States can be rewarded for getting the jab, with states offering new initiatives to boost vaccination rates. In the state of Ohio, a ‘Vax-a-Million’ lottery has made lucky winner Abbigail Bugenske 1 million dollars more prosperous, and CVS Pharmacy will similarly launch sweepstakes for those getting the shot with prizes to include cash, Super Bowl tickets, and cruises.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has encouraged vaccine lotteries by saying California awards the “largest prizes” of “any state in America”.
