Some states do not hesitate to put in place strategies to encourage the population to be vaccinated.
This is particularly the case in Greece, where young people between the ages of 18 and 25 will soon be able to obtain a voucher of 150 euros if they agree to be vaccinated, reports
Der Spiegel
.
About 940,000 Greeks are affected by this financial operation for which an envelope of 141 million euros has been released.
This voucher can be used to pay for hotel reservations, plane tickets or even for cultural events, said Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
More than three million people received the two doses of the vaccine
For the Greek government, the goal is to vaccinate 60% of the population by the end of July.
The authorities would thus like to limit the spread of contamination in this country which is little affected by the pandemic, with 13,000 deaths for 11 million inhabitants since the start of the health crisis.
In Greece, 5 million people received the first injection and 3.5 million received both injections.
In the United States, some states also reward those who agree to be vaccinated, adds

.
Lotteries are thus organized or other rewards make it possible to encourage vaccination.
In some areas of the country, it is even firearms that are at stake.
