Beers, donuts, lottery, fries …: the United States has decided to bet on rewards of all kinds to encourage Americans to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Get vaccinated and receive a hamburger and fries as a reward? This is what is happening in New York. To encourage its residents to go to vaccination centers, Mayor Bill de Blasio decided to offer fries and a hamburger to all those who show their vaccination card at the chip shop.
This “reward” has been in place since Thursday in New York State, and Bill de Blasio intends to advertise it. In the middle of a press conference yesterday, he brought his portion of fries and his hamburger to taste them in front of the journalists. ” I have been vaccinated. So I can have these delicious fries. And there is also a burger with He announced, before biting into the sandwich. ” Mmmh, vaccination ! », Launched Bill de Blasio, smirk,« I have a very good impression of the vaccination at the moment ».
If the idea of the New York mayor seems a little far-fetched, it is far from being the only one of its kind. In Ohio, people who have been vaccinated can participate in a lottery where the winner will win a million dollars. And there will be several winners, because several draws. In other states, getting vaccinated earns $ 100, directly in banknotes or as a savings bonus. Free beers and donuts are also part of the rewards for those vaccinated elsewhere in the country.
