Fancy Rs 7500? This US State Will Pay You to Get Vaccinated Against Covid-19

News 18  

In a bid to ‘motivate’ young people to get vaccinated, a US State plans to pay them if they get their Covid-19 vaccine. More than half its 1.5 million eligible population has received only one dose yet.It was claimed that the young population that makes up 40% of the residents ‘has not been taking the vaccines as fast as we’d like them to take them’, said Justice at a press conference, as per BBC. Justice added that if they can get to 70%, they will ‘shut the virus down’, hence, ‘masks go away, hospitalizations go away and the death becomes minimal.’The payments of $100, plus interest, will be funded from the state’s CARES Act, stated Justice adding that officials have ‘vetted this in every way that we possibly can’ ensure that the funds are used for savings bonds. CARES Act is a coronavirus relief package of $1.9 tn that came into law in the US last month.A survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation last month states that 25% of US residents aged 18 to 29 want to ‘wait and see’ before getting vaccinated as compared to only 7% of those residents aged over 65.
