Some North Texas cities offering incentives to receive COVID-19 vaccine
As demand for the COVID vaccine continues to go down in North Texas, some cities are coming up with clever ways to motivate more folks to get vaccinated.
DALLAS - Those who desperately wanted the COVID-19 vaccine have likely already received at least one dose.
The focus now shifts to those who don t see the vaccine as a priority. So what better way to reach herd immunity than incentives like cash.
The demand for COVID-19 vaccines is dwindling in parts of North Texas.
“A lot of people have been getting into the hobby because of COVID-19. Everyone’s stuck at home watching TikToks,” vendor Hebreb Morales said.
Sneaker Con was just one of several events to welcome back big crowds since COVID-19 cases started to drop.
Dallas County averaged 156 daily cases this week, a decrease from last week when the county averaged 179 cases per day.
Dr. Mark Casanova, immediate past president of the Dallas County Medical Society, said events can mark an encouraging return to pre-COVID life.
“If it’s a Rangers game, if it’s an in-person family gathering, or just getting that cold margarita and warm chips and salsa at your favorite Tex Mex restaurant, get vaccinated. Help us all get back to normalcy,” Casanova said.
