I'm proud to say New Yorkers have stepped up and are now at 70% vaccinated rate. The Governor has lifted all Covid - 19 related restrictions. NYC is coming back to life quickly!! Some cities and states here in the US with people hesitant to get the vaccination have resorted to bribery.
Under 18, get vaccinated and have a chance to win a full college scholarship. Some states have a chance to win a Million a week. Bars are offering a free beer (unfortunately you're limited to one vaccination), ball parks are offering free game tickets if you get vaccinated there, and so on. This may not be the ideal way of getting those unsure to vaccinate, but it has substantially increased the vaccination rate in the locations offering incentives.
What can be done to get Jamaicans off the fence about vaccination? Without this, JA will never be able to fully restore itself and its tourism back to where is was pre-covid.
I'm not sure how the laws are in JA, but here in the US a privately owned business can require their employees to be vaccinated. Requiring people get vaccinated to keep their employment doesn't seem right to me, but this is what it may come down to for anyone in the tourism industry.
