West Virginia Offers Vaccination Bonus

by time news

In West Virginia, vaccination of residents of the state against coronavirus is not proceeding fast enough, according to his leadership.

The youth part of the population was especially reluctant to be vaccinated. And then it was decided to introduce an additional incentive for them: all residents of the state between the ages of 16 and 35, after a full vaccination, are awarded a savings bond in the amount of $ 100, on which over time you can get cash with interest.

At the beginning of this year, vaccination rates in West Virginia were the fastest in the country. But recently, there has been a decline in vaccination rates, and now the state is in tenth place from the end by this indicator. West Virginia is home to 380,000 young people between the ages of 16 and 35. If 275,000 of them are vaccinated, then the overall vaccination rate will reach 70%, said Governor Jim Justice, and then the virus will be stopped. Those young people who have already been vaccinated will also receive their “bonus”, the governor added.
