BOSTON â The state will give away $1 million to a fully vaccinated adult this week in the first drawing of VaxMillions, a game that aims to persuade vaccine-hesitant Bay Staters to get their shots.
But the allure of cash doesnât appear to have substantially boosted vaccination rates, which have been declining, according to public health data. And nearly half of those eligible for the sweepstakes have not registered.
The number of new vaccinations given in Massachusetts dropped again last week, with 53,177 doses administered between July 14 and July 20. Thatâs down 14% from the previous week, when about 62,000 doses were administered, according to the state Department of Public Health.
