Another Vaccination Lottery

[jcojci]

Finally, another country, namely Romania, launched a Vaccination Lottery for the public. It is hoped that this will encourage people to participate in the Romanian government's vaccination program. The amount provided by the Romanian government is RON15,000,000 ($3.5m).

This is good news for people and this lottery also aims to encourage vaccination and each participant will have four chances of winning. In addition, the government also agreed to make regulations for people who are eligible to be vaccinated to receive a meal voucher worth RON100.

It seems that the Vaccination Lottery program can attract people to register so that the government's target in reducing the number of people infected with Covid-19 can succeed. Maybe after this, there will be other countries that will follow. What do you think about the launch of this Vaccination Lottery? Can it attract the other countries to follow what USA and Romania did? Is that be a good way to attract attention from people to have vaccination because that teach them to use lottery to make money which we know that lottery is part of gambling.

if i come to remember it correct Romania is the 3rd country (That become viral) in which uses a Lottery to attract more people to get vaccinated .

Hope that Romania will get their target support and response from their people as this should be a mandatory if will allow by laws to totally stops this Virus from spreading and killing more and more people around the world.

[Gozie51]

This is an incentive program aimed to encourage people to get vaccinated against covid-19,

It is a reward program for people to volunteer while showing their prove of being vaccination and qualify for the lottery according to the health minister of Romania.

There will be 1,139 prizes in the total value of RON15.000.000 ($3.5m) and 19 draws (which will take place between 1 October and 31 December) as follows: 81 weekly draws (80 prizes worth RON10.000 and a RON300.000 prize), three monthly draws (each worth RON100.000) and two final draws (one worth RON500.000 and one final RON1m draw.

I see it isn't a bad idea to encourage people to get vaccinated , maybe more government may do same but definitely not countries that don't support gambling.

And there may be disadvantage for underage.

[Poker Player]

What I think is that the motivation to get vaccinated should be based on scientific reasons, not on the hope of winning the lottery, whose probability is approximately 0.

It will surely convince some undecided people, but those who were already convinced did not need to be convinced, and those who think that the vaccine is a poison that has been manufactured by aliens, that carries micro-chips, and that will kill people within three years, will not get vaccinated because they are given a lottery ticket.

[Oasisman]

Does this really encouraged people to take the vaccine?
I mean If you guys have any link of result reports about the Pfizer vaccine lottery (I forgot which country it was), and this one as well, kindly share it here.

If these vaccines can really makes us inmune to covid related viruses, then I guess having the dose of vaccine is more than enough than winning the lottery, because life/health is more valuable than money.
However, I won't blame the people anyway because there were conspiracy theories and even claims about the deaths after the vaccine.

It can attract other countries to follow but the question is, are people will really encourage especially with those strong stands that they don't want to be vaccinated.

The most effective way to force people to get a vaccine is to put restrictions on them. I consider it as "legit discrimination" in another form which I really don't like. Like here in our country, been in a Mall yesterday and all restaurants are asking for a Vaccination card with complete doses. They won't allow dine-in for not being fully vaccinated. Soon, all establishments will impose a restriction like that. People have no choice but to comply. Personally, I don't like to be vaccinated. It's just that all members of my family living in our household are already vaccinated and since we always travel, part of the requirements that needed to comply is a complete vaccine record replacing the requirement of negative results from the virus.

[Hamphser]

So this really had been the trend now? Having that lottery for people to get vaccinated? Im not really against with this idea but for sure it wont really be enough for people to get some vaccine shots.

Good for those who are interested to take a shot which they could really have also a chance to win up a lottery which it would really be sparking out or would be a good idea for some people.

I wont be surprised if there would be other countries which would be having that initiative on making their citizens to get vaccinated.

[yazher]

Here in our city, they offer such lotteries where you will get a Raffle Coupon when you get vax and have a chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars. I think they want to attract citizens to get vaccinated as soon as possible and one thing to accelerate it, is to offer such a huge amount of money.

[YOSHIE]

I judge that the vaccine that is injected into the community is not based on covid-19 and their own awareness, there are other elements that want the vaccine to be consumed within a certain period of time.

Romania, a country with a low currency compared to other world countries, alternative lottery to attract people to be vaccinated, the government played a drama for certain interests in the Lottery, vouchers worth RON100 were never received by people who took part in the vaccination Lottery competition.

Lack of understanding about vaccination and covid-19, made the Romanian government turn around so that its people must be vaccinated, all actions and the main brain of china.

Romania is not a Third world country, They are located on Europe and they have a good GDP compared to the real 3rd world country outside EU. They are just poor and weak compared to other country inside EU but they are still rich compared outside EU. This kind of lottery system just to get people vaccinated is proof that they have enough money for there citizen safety, Here in our country which is the real third world country, We have limited supply of vaccine and vaccination has a priority list before  normal can get it especially on poor municipality.

If I'm not mistaken mate I think you are referring to Poland which offers their constituents a lottery with a 1million zlotys ($273000) prize awaits to encourage their people to get a shot of vaccine. I think there's nothing wrong by applying this kind of strategy that the government think best reward for the people whoever wanted to get a dose of vaccine but we don't know if this kind of strategy really effective. I mean each and every country has their specific strategy to attract people to get vaccinated since more people are afraid to get vaccinated because of the death claims after getting a dose.

[Wexnident]

What I think is that the motivation to get vaccinated should be based on scientific reasons, not on the hope of winning the lottery, whose probability is approximately 0.

Well, I must say, the majority of the people would rather have money slapped on their face really, rather than science. It's a nice incentive anyhows, nothing really wrong with them doing something like that, even if people don't believe on the reasoning behind the vaccine, at the very least, there's something else that can push them to vaccinate. And I'd say it's higher than 0 mate, else lotteries wouldn't even exist since no one actually wins.

So this really had been the trend now? Having that lottery for people to get vaccinated? Im not really against with this idea but for sure it wont really be enough for people to get some vaccine shots.

Hey if it works, it works. Especially since most countries are opening up now, people really need to get vaccinated for most stuff to return to normal properly.

That's not good you don't scam your people just like that if you cannot deliver then don't promise the administration that promises that will eventually lose in the election, the government should just encourage vaccination through information disseminate, not scamming them here in our country we don't resort to that majority of the people wants to be vaccinated as soon as possible, only the scarcity of the vaccine will not let them.

It is maybe their government's concern, so the lottery programs are one thing that they think can succeeding the vaccinated their people. If people are attracted to follow the vaccination and almost all people want to be vaccinated, at least the government vaccination program can succeed.

[RealMalatesta]

It is hoped that this will encourage people to participate in the Romanian government's vaccination program.

As literacy rate got nothing do with willingness to go forward for covid vaccination, government are coming up with such idea to make people covid vaccinated. Even in my country, social activity groups have announced assured gifts for getting vaccinated. But, lottery with prize money in millions for covid vaccination must be something more interesting to watch.

Most governments are operating casino or at least lotteries for revenue generations hence it is being a gambling or not is complete out of contest. This way, lottery gambling is helping government to fight against covid through vaccination hence we should welcome when more countries will be copying this idea.

[smyslov]

The people of Romania are lucky to have a government that rewards them for getting vaccinated, not all countries can do that especially in a third world country where everybody wants to take a vaccine but they cannot because of the limited supply, there's a big discrepancy between the rich and poor country, the rich countries are on their booster shot which is the third shot but in a third world many do not even have their first dose.

So far it isnt really still available on our country where there's some lottery benefits on where citizens could have when they do took some vaccine.Just like on what others been saying that
this is really some sort of good initiative or step from the government which some people do see it to be a desperate move but we know that this is really just a good way
on making people interested on getting vaccinated despite of the doubts that they have but same as mentioned above that i doubt that it would really be effective.

[NeuroticFish]

I think that actually it's not the lottery that may "inspire" more people get the vaccine in Romania.
One additional "detail" is that those getting the vaccine in these last months of 2021 will also receive 100 RON (~20 EUR) tickets they can use in supermarkets (in theory, for food).
The hugely rising numbers of infected people filling all the news also did their part.

The number of newly vaccinated is rising from lows under 5000/day in August to 15-20000 (and rising) lately.

[rodskee]

as far as i understand ? He means third country in because there are 2 other countries that do this lottery to lure people to take the vaccine  and not because they are a third world country .

How good to offer this , in some countries specially in Asian countries in which giving groceries but this gives them tickets to choose what they want to buy in groceries .

[Oshosondy]

Maybe after this, there will be other countries that will follow. What do you think about the launch of this Vaccination Lottery? Can it attract the other countries to follow what USA and Romania did?

This will attract people to get vacinated faster, some people that are not vaccinated can latter decide to get vaccinated if many of their people like families and friends have vacinatted, the average and people that are not having money especially those not having enough will not think about this twice and go for it and taking it can encourage others.

With what I have read on the thread also, there is a reply that people that are vacinatted are given 100 RON (~20 EUR), this is a very good move by the Romania government, but most other countries will not follow this than to just encourage their citizens to take the vaccine.
