• "The prefecture of Hérault wants traders to encourage 18/25 year olds to be vaccinated by offering them a commercial gesture", takes offense, on Twitter, a user.

  • Failing to comment on the authenticity of this document, the prefecture of Hérault has announced in recent days the "Vacci + operation", which offers certain commercial advantages to young people who will be vaccinated between the 1st and the 15th. August.

"Madam, Sir, in order to encourage young adults to be vaccinated and to support the leisure, cultural and tourism sectors of activity in the Hérault, the prefecture is asking for your participation during a 15-day communication.

This campaign consists of offering young people aged 18 to 25, having had a first injection during the period from August 1 to August 15, and who appear in your structure ”, we can read in this document bearing the heading of the prefect of Hérault.

, the prefecture responded to our requests without commenting on the authenticity of this letter.

But in recent days she has initiated the "Vacci + operation", the objective of which is clearly detailed on her site: "To encourage young people from Hérault to be vaccinated so that they can protect themselves, protect others and actively participate in the campaign. return of a life without Covid ”.

“Young people from Hérault aged 18 to 25, having had a first injection over the period from August 1 to August 15, will be able to benefit from a commercial gesture with partner structures and mobilized communities.

Many sectors of activity: sport, cinema, culture and leisure, restaurants, bars and nightclubs, transport… ”, she further explains, while listing the brands and other cultural venues that are partners in the operation.

There are cinemas, museums, discotheques and sports clubs there offering places to the eligible public, as well as subscriptions or training courses at reduced prices in sports halls or theater courses.

Not to mention promotions in restaurants and fast food outlets in the region.

This is not the first time that Internet users are indignant to see state services promoting vaccination in exchange for a commercial offer: distribution last spring, in a Guyanese supermarket, in partnership with the Agency. regional health (ARS), vouchers of 5 euros for vaccinated customers had aroused strong criticism.

To the point of being canceled after 48 hours.

Not far from there, but this time in the United States, the authorities go there more frankly in the incitement.

Thus the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, announced this week that each inhabitant receiving a first injection of vaccine will leave now… with 100 dollars.
