In the United States, the Omicron variant represents 70% of new infections. Faced with this very worrying situation, the authorities are more than ever encouraging the population to receive a booster dose. Thus, the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has indicated that the city gives 100 dollars (89 euros) to anyone who is injected with a booster dose in a center deployed by the town hall.
A way to encourage the population to receive their third dose as soon as possible.“The $ 100 bonus is available to all family members (…) The number one way to keep everyone healthy is to get vaccinated“, explained the politician on the CBS channel.
Since the spring of 2020, more than 34,000 New Yorkers have died from the coronavirus, the United States has even become the most bereaved country since the start of the epidemic, with more than 807,000 dead. Joe Biden will announce new measures such as increased testing and vaccine capacity in the coming days. However, no restrictions before Christmas are on the program.
