In order to motivate Americans to receive the coronavirus vaccine, federal, state, and local authorities are joining forces with pharmacies, restaurants, and more. by offering incentive programs. In this context, an adult who receives a vaccinated vaccine will receive a free bottle of beer.

Such offers are said to be on the rise in parts of the United States, a country that wants to vaccinate 70% of all adults by its next Independence Day, which falls on July 4.

Well, beer isn’t the only incentive on the set. In some states, for a particular segment of the population, savings bonds are also offered. As reported by an overseas publication, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice earlier this month earmarked funds that could fund the $ 100 Savings Bond program for residents aged 16 to 35.

In India, where vaccine reluctance is rampant, such incentives are not possible due to resource constraints and lack of adequate state capacity to prevent leaks. There is a call to link some benefits of government programs like PDS to immunization of people over 45 years old. In due course, once there is a surplus of vaccines in the country, governments will likely do the same if much of the population continues to be reluctant.
