The province currently isn t considering any incentives to encourage Nova Scotians to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Earlier this week, Manitoba announced anyone who has had their jab will be eligible to win a $100,000 prize or a $25,000 scholarship.
South of the border, incentives include cash prizes, food and booze, tickets to events, fishing and hunting licences and park passes.
At a Wednesday briefing, Premier Iain Rankin said he doesn t think a similar program is necessary here. What we ve seen in Nova Scotia is a significant interest in getting vaccinated, he explained. We have uptakes in the 80s, and in some categories over 90 per cent, so we re hitting our targets. We re ahead of schedule.
