Fox News
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that people getting their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at any city-run vaccination site will receive a $100 incentive starting Friday, July 30.
"For any New Yorker who goes to a city-run site to get vaccinated, we’ll say thank you, we’re really glad that you got vaccinated for yourself, for your family, for your community, and here’s $100 to thank you for doing the right thing and to encourage people," de Blasio announced. This is the latest of many incentives being offered in New York and around the country. At Wesleyan University, Connecticut, where COVID-19 vaccinations are a requirement, officials are offering 50 scholarships worth $25,000. Missouri, the state with the fourth-worst COVID-19 diagnosis rate, has made nearly 6,000 of its state workers eligible to receive $100 in gift cards. In Alabama, people aged 16 and older who choose to be vaccinated can drive their car two laps on the Talladega Superspeedway.More Related News
