COVID-19 vaccine lotteries did little to convince Americans to get their shots with daily jabs only reaching A QUARTER of the expected number, study finds
COVID-19 vaccine lotteries had little impact on the number of Americans getting their first shot, a new study finds The programs were instituted in 19 states ahead of President Biden's target of getting 70% of American adults at least partially jabbed by July 4 Lotteries only reached around a quarter of expectations and the eventual target was missed Researchers believe that since the incentives were not universal and not informative, they failed to bring people in to get the shots Health officials have had trouble convincing the remaining unvaccinated Americans to get their shots, with Biden's target not reached until August 3 By Mansur Shaheen U.S. Deputy Health Editor For Dailymail.Com

COVID-19 vaccine lotteries used by more than a dozen U.S. states ended up doing little to boost vaccination rates, a new study finds.
Earlier this year, 19 states launched lotteries in a bid to incentivize residents to get jabbed ahead of President Joe Biden's target of 70 percent of American adults partially vaccinated by July 4.
The nation ended up missing the President's target, and researchers from Bentley University, in Waltham, Massachusetts, have now found that these lottery efforts made little impact.
In fact, only a quarter of the expected daily vaccination rate was reached after the lotteries were announced.
Researchers found that there was little change in the number of Americans receiving the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in the two weeks following the day the lottery was announced (light blue line)
