Incentives can spur COVID-19 vaccination uptake

Heike Kluever et al.

Summary: Recent evidence shows that vaccination hesitancy is too high in many countries to effectively control COVID-19. A study conducted in Germany involving 20,500 online respondents found that providing freedoms, financial remuneration, and local access to vaccination can increase vaccine uptake by 2-3 percentage points overall and up to 13 percentage points among undecided individuals. Different age groups responded differently to the strategies, with older cohorts preferring local access and younger cohorts favoring enhanced freedoms for vaccinated individuals.
