The idea is to breathe new life into the vaccination campaign.

According to benchmark data from the University of Oxford, around 57% of New York's population is fully vaccinated against Covid-19 but more than 37% have still not received any injection.

It is this part of the population that the Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio wanted to reach by announcing a series of measures at a press conference on Wednesday.

To accelerate the pace, the mayor of New York has promised a reward of 100 euros to any resident who will receive a first dose of vaccine, from Friday, July 30.

This "giveaway" is not a new form of incentive, as New York City has come up with a bunch of rewards since the vaccination became available.

Indeed, New York residents who agree to receive the precious sesame are often given fast food menus or tickets to visit amusement parks at the same time.

Compulsory vaccination for hospital caregivers

Against the backdrop of an increase in positive cases due to the Delta variant, the city and state of New York have decided to strengthen health obligations this week. Bill de Blasio announced that he would demand that the 300,000 city officials, including police, firefighters and teachers, be vaccinated or tested on a weekly basis. It will be the same for the 130,000 civil servants of the State of New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo has made the decision to make vaccination mandatory for hospital caregivers. According to state figures dated July 21, around 26% of hospital workers have not yet been fully vaccinated.
