Coronavirus | White House offers new tax credit to help spur vaccinations
The Hindu
As the vaccination program progresses, the administration believes it will only get more difficult to sustain the current pace of about 3 million shots per day.
The White House is trying to overcome diminishing demand for COVID-19 shots by offering businesses a tax incentive to give employees paid leave to get vaccinated. The move comes as the United States is set to meet President Joe Biden's goal of administering 200 million coronavirus doses in his first 100 days in office. With more than 50% of adults at least partially vaccinated and roughly 28 million vaccine doses being delivered each week, demand has eclipsed supply as the constraining factor to vaccinations in much of the country.More Related News
