Incentivizing COVID Vaccines

What is happening? West Virginia is offering $100 for people, 16-35 years old, to be vaccinated. Funds will come from the CARES Act

Why is this important? Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican, credits young West Virginias as key to shutting down the transmission of COVID

How will this be important? West Virginia’s approach could be modeled in other states or other future pandemics
