Coronavirus update: More incentives for vaccination in NJ – WHYY

For those of you who have either just started your vaccination process now or havent yet gotten your first dose, heres our invitation, Murphy said.

But are the incentives enough to turn someone dead set against getting vaccinated?

Im not so sure, said Dr. David Asch, executive director of the Penn Medicine Center for Health Care Innovation. He says that the incentive depends on what is being offered, whether that is something the person wants, and how it is being presented.

If its a transactional incentive, like if you get vaccinated, youll get a hundred dollars, thats much less likely to be as motivating and as potent as, for example, what they did in Ohio, he said.
