With so many avenues for misinformation these days, it’s no wonder that governments around the world have to come up with ways to incentivise vaccination.
One way to do this is to inform people about the benefits of vaccination, both for one’s loved ones and fellow residents.
But if that doesn’t work, you can always offer deep-fried potatoes.

In Moscow, You Can Win a Free Car If You Take the COVID-19 Vaccine
Free fries aren’t bad, but it can’t compare to a brand new car.
Believe it or not, Moscow, the capital of Russia, is giving away free cars in a prize draw for residents who get a shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The city’s mayor noted how few residents have turned up to get vaccinated, which is likely why the prize draw was launched.
In fact, only 1.3 million out of a population of more than 12 million have received at least one dose, as of 21 May.
But with a promise of a new car, that figure could soon soar.
Now, anyone over 18 who has received the first of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine from 14 Jun until 11 Jul will be automatically entered into a draw to win a car.
Believe it or not, five cars worth 1 million roubles (around S$18,400) each will be given away every week.
