Another Vaccination Lottery

[chaser15]

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.

Better than nothing indeed. What's the status now? Are more people willing now to undergo vaccine because of that lottery?  I don't see it will encourage more people. It's difficult to win in a lottery. Maybe if its a sure cash incentive, lots of people will be willing to do vaccination lol. Lots of things are now being offered to encourage people. Slowly by surely, everyone in the world will now be fully vaccinated, with or without incentives or any rewards.

Being practical? that will work if instead of lottery giving cash incentives or a grocery package may bring people's interest.

I'm not against with this act since government might try how Pfizer tries this one and bring people to vaccines facilities, but you
are right. Lottery is something that not appealing much, it's hard to win.

Maybe after this trial and nothing much impact that happened they will change strategy, just maybe though

For the government, it makes sense. Given the inflated healthcare costs in the United States, it is better to give out $100 to those who vaccinate, rather than spending $200,000 or $300,000 on someone who gets admitted to the ICU as a result of COVID. For the alcoholics and junkies, this amount is enough to fund a week of their habit. Don't think that anyone else will bother about it in the United States. But this amount is like the average monthly salary where I live. Here if there is such an offer from the government, then you will find half the population queued up outside the vaccination center.

You talking normally about how exorbitant the prices are for healthcare in the US makes me so sad because they really make it a business and not a hospital that cares indiscriminately. Well, the amount is relative, in your country it's bigger since there's a rate of exchange between dollar and your currency but in there, it's probably not a lot of money.

I wish we have this one nationwide, there are place here that does this but not in major cities and big provinces, people really want to get vaccinated they go the vaccination area where there is an announcement of walk-in very early in the morning hours before the opening of the vaccination centers, some who are on the priority are having a hard time getting a slot, this lottery can only happen in rich countries, where there are to much supply of vaccines but people getting a vaccine, but in a third world all people want is to get a vaccine.

[hahay]

Making a raffle or lottery and or any prize for vaccination I don't think it looks good although indeed, it will have a good impact on public awareness about the importance of vaccination. But apart from that, actually I still often find that viruses, pandemics and even vaccinations for some people out there think that it's just a game, and I can't accept that. That way, when there is a prize or lottery given for vaccination it reflects like a form of bribe that doesn't look good, because if people realize how important vaccination is then at least they will move on their own to get vaccinated and not because of the chance to get the lottery because then state spending will get bigger and can have a bad impact as well.

I think this will really makes people think about getting vaccinated. Well here in our country I haven't this here since we only get discounts in gasoline and also in foods. There are a lot of people encouraging those people that don't want to be vaccinated to be vaccinated one by giving them foods and also raffles i think i heard some doing raffles but it is just small amount , it is their strategy so that they could convince those people to get vaccinated.

I think it's much better than a lottery ticket though, I think discounts on gas and food items or even better, groceries could be the best because gas and groceries nowadays are gosh darn expensive and I would take any kind of discount on those things any other day.

The government can use many methods to convince its people to be vaccinated. A lottery, discount, or coupon is something that their people need to survive this pandemic. If you live in a country that uses that method to give incentives to its people, you are lucky because you can get something for free. But today, vaccinated will be a precondition to access or go to the public place, limiting people access in their city if they are not yet vaccinated.

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.

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.

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.

I mean they are the number 3 country that conduct lottery just to lure people to get vaccinated , as the first and second has been posted here in forum also though i cannot dig it more.

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.

Actually countries that having this is not only showing they have funds (Because Lottery can be rigged we knew that already)instead they are desperate to have more vaccinated because of they need to return living in normal again.

Vaccines are not 100% effective in terms of not getting infected, but it can give you enough strength to fight the virus and its very rare for you to have a severe case.

This is not a bride but a way to encourage more people, though this may be not look good but the government have no more choice since they can't really force everyone to get the vaccine, they are now playing with the emotion of people which I think is fine as long as its purpose is for the protection of everyone.

Well, we all have belief and lucky to those who will win on this lottery he will be safe with a lots of money for sure.

We can't deny that if there were incentives, very obvious ones, that were given to people when they are vaccinated, a lot more would be vaccinated now. However, the mindset of people is pretty much how "If it doesn't affect me, it doesn't exist" kind of thing, hence the current situation we have. Tbh, if bribery was the way for people to actually get vaccinated? I'd push for it, just because the current system we have right now shouldn't last any longer than it already has. It has pretty much produced permanent damage and would take a long time for it to be fixed/healed, and if people don't actively try to return it to what it was, then I might as well bribe them with obvious benefits.

As long as there is no cure for the corona virus, the best way is through vaccination, it is true that there is no guarantee that it will be 100% effective.
But people who have been vaccinated are less likely to catch the virus than people who have not been vaccinated. The problem is that there are
still many people who still think vaccines have dangerous side effects and they are looking for it to be safe not to be vaccinated. And
the government cannot force the entire population to vaccinate, so it needs a solution other than providing education. One of them is by offering
lottery tickets, because sometimes people are more easily influenced if they offer a certain amount of money. Then from several articles that I read,
it is indeed quite effective in increasing the number of people who want to be vaccinated, for countries that have made lottery offers for those who
want to receive vaccines. Then there may be a negative impact that arises, but as long as it has a greater benefit why not do it.

I know that's going to be the thing eventually, it becomes the normal thing but I might as well enjoy the benefits of getting discounts because I'm vaccinated.

That is the benefits of people who wanted to Join the government in their goals, all the advantage will come your way like discounts or even extra funds who some country is giving like in my country .
when we have already received at least 600$ for the affected of the lockdown and also tons of foods for the span of almost 2 years now.
thanks to the government and they never let people down in this Fight for life.

This is a good strategy to reduce the chances of people been infected with the disease, with the lottery and food voucher as side attraction many will willingly get vaccinated and some will decide to try their luck with the vaccination lottery which will be an avenue to get them vaccinated. This is a smart approach to capture both the willing and stubborn citizens

[imstillthebest]

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 im correct ,
there are countries before the u.s that conducts the same contest and after them other countries are now following so yes this can attract more countries of doing the same because its kinda effective for people to get vaccinated .
this doesnt involved money and the prize are exciting and after doing this ,
they may not become an addict gambler so its fine dont worry .

If we were to decide? we wanted all the people around the world to be vaccinated so this Infection will totally gone and the world will finally goes back to the normal living we have 2 years ago.

But of course people has their own views and beliefs in every matter , and this will give different decisions in such .

Hope this will help Romania to spread the idea of vaccination and will bring them safety living .

I believe that it is a state in US that first  brings this Lottery Promo for those who have been vaccinated to let have a chance to win .
and there are another countries that follows before this Romania .
but lets look only in the bright side and that is the concern of the government for their people to keep safe and the death toll stops from there.

[paxmao]

I am a bit surprised because I did not know that Romania had such a need at all. I guess the government is just trying to get peoples attention with the price and the lottery, what I am not so sure is that this is the right kind of attention. People that are not taking the vaccine are not going to be persuaded just by a price, since they normally think their life is at risk. I guess it is just a marketing op.

[KTChampions]

Those people who do not trust the government are not the target audience for such actions. They are trying to lure those who are hesitant or just lazy to get vaccinated. Based on the example of my country, I can say that the effect of such actions is about zero, and maybe even negative - all people understand that free cheese is only in a mousetrap.

A little carrot and stick method won't hurt, I mean if it does the job, we have no questions about it right and I think that it's effective since it's making people encouraged to get vaccinated and given how a lot of people loves lottery, who would refuse a free ticket just for some doses.

Given the huge number of side effects from this vaccine, plus the fact that these vaccines have not yet stood the test of time and the full cycle of safety checks, this lottery looks immoral to me. This is a risky decision and I don't think there should be any incentives like gingerbread. And I don't like the idea of wasting taxpayers' money on such nonsense.

Side effect is normal after you take a jab since it means that your body is reacting to the vaccine given to your body, also below are the following test they made before they conclude that the existing approve vaccines are really effective.

This is for JNJ

5 stages go thru by Johnson and Johnson before they conclude that this vaccine is effective  

For Sinovac

Sinovac go to phase 3 of test before they announce that this is effective  

For Pfizer

This is the test they made for Pfizer  

Also this

This article you can see the vaccine testing and approval process

Other information about the other vaccine which I didn't list is available to be search I don't have much time to dig up more information about them  .

  What do you think about such side effects as death? Is this normal or not? Of course, you can find an explanation for each case like "allergic reaction", etc. but the fact remains - before the vaccine, the person was alive and then died. In addition, there are many cases of side effects that are less tragic but also serious, but you answered as if we were talking about the standard "increased temperature for a couple of days."

I think the government will not stop helping people, especially in this pandemic as they want to see their people can still survive and know that the government concern with them. Maybe people need to realize that that help will benefit them, at least for their family, because every person's condition will not be the same. Maybe people think that the vaccine can not fully work to prevent the virus but at least that can help them build a new antibody for their body to prevent the mutation of the virus.
