Are You Getting Vaccinated? NYC To Start Paying People $100 To Bet COVID-19 Vaccine
Socialites, get into this! New York City will pay $100 for people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, The Hill reports.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) made the announcement this Wednesday saying that starting Friday, residents who get their first vaccine dose at a city-run vaccination site will get a $100 incentive.
De Blasio explained that the $100 will make a “big impact, particularly in a world in which more and more things are going to be determined by whether you’re vaccinated or not,” adding that “we wanted to supercharge it by saying we’ll give you extra, direct personal incentive to get this done now,” he continued.
Rachel Loeb, president of the New York City Economic Development Corporation said that residents and city employees will receive a $100 through a prepaid debit card.
This is the latest mayor that has announced to get the city vaccinated as cases continue to rise with the new Delta variant. De Blasio said Wednesday that 9,902,097 doses have been administered so far.
