KANSAS CITY, Mo. â President Joe Biden encouraged states on Tuesday to offer incentives to boost the number of people receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. But in the Kansas City metro, some businesses already have those incentives in place.
"We have people that haven't seen each other in a year, and this is their first lunch and they're getting one of them free," Joe Zwillenberg, owner of the Westport Flea Market, said.
During a news conference, Biden suggested ticket giveaways, in-stadium vaccination programs, merchandise discounts and "other creative ways" to make COVID-19 vaccinations "easier and more fun."
