One week after West Virginia announced the state would be giving $100 savings bonds to residents aged 16 to 35 who get a Covid-19 vaccine, New Jersey announced a different giveaway approach to try to encourage vaccination. Governor Phil Murphy announced the “Shot and a Beer” effort yesterday (May 3rd) on Twitter, in which residents ages 21 and older who get vaccinated will be able to get a free beer at one of over a dozen breweries that have teamed with the state. The offer will be available through May for any eligible person who gets at least their first vaccine dose. Another part of New Jersey’s vaccination effort is called “Grateful for the Shot,” in which the state is partnering with religious leaders so that worshippers can go straight from services to vaccination sites.
