A similar measure was taken at the end of July. Faced with an Omicron variant of Covid-19 which is spreading at high speed, the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, announced on Tuesday that the city was giving 100 dollars (89 euros) to anyone who is injected with a dose of recall in a center deployed by the town hall.
“The $ 100 bonus is available to all family members,” the elected official said Tuesday in a speech broadcast by CBS. The elected representative also mentioned home vaccines.
“The number 1 way to keep everyone healthy is to be vaccinated,” said Di Blasio. It makes a big difference ”.
At least 34,000 New Yorkers have lost their lives since the spring of 2020 and the city, especially Manhattan, has never really regained its legendary effervescence before the health crisis.
In the United States, the Omicron variant accounted for 73.2% of new Covid-19 infections during the week ended December 18, with peaks of 95% in some northwestern states, according to authorities.
