Many incentives are being offered for people to get shots for COVID-19, and some of them have one doctor scratching her head.
Examples of the incentives offered include a person's name being placed in a lottery or winning free college tuition. People have also been offered everything from free doughnuts to Waffle House breakfasts and beer.
"I don't have a problem with having an incentive such as a million-dollar lottery, which is what Ohio has been doing, or a full-ride scholarship for youths," says Dr. Amy Givler, a family physician in Monroe, Louisiana. "But should we be offering things that are unhealthy, such as doughnuts with sugar and fat?"
