New Delhi, May 14, 2021, Friday

Most countries in the world, including India, have come to understand the importance of vaccines to prevent the spread of coronavirus and are now encouraging people to get vaccinated.

In India, on the one hand, the government and celebrities are appealing to people to get vaccinated, while in the US, many people are hesitant to get vaccinated and various offers are being made to encourage them in different cities and states.

Surprisingly, in the United States, people are offered tickets to baseball matches, beer, French fries, and even marijuana for the vaccine. Now an American state is two steps ahead of it. Ohio Gov. Mike Dewey recently announced that a lottery scheme for the corona vaccine would be launched May 26. All those who have been vaccinated at least once will be entitled to this lottery. A draw will be held every Wednesday and a prize of Rs 10 lakh will be given to the winner each time. This type of draw will last for five weeks. The lottery amount will be paid from Corona Relief Fund.

In the city of Ohio, 11 million people live here and 9 million people have been vaccinated so far.

Other states are also encouraging people financially. West Virginia Governor Jim Justice said last month that if people under the age of 35 get vaccinated, they will be given a બો 100 savings bond. He will also be able to apply for a ર્ટ 200 gift voucher from Walmart.

As many as 150 million people in the United States have been vaccinated so far, according to media reports. 53 percent of the US population has received at least one dose of the vaccine.
