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.
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.

Of course, if they're desperate for the money, they'll try their luck. They should also be aware that vaccination can assist to reduce the number of active COVID cases in the country. It's a win-win situation for both the government and the public; it's difficult to wear a face mask every day, and I, for one, wish to return to a normal state when I could move freely without one. I hope our government do the same, that urges the citizen to get vaccinated right now.
