Nic Antaya for Crain's Detroit Business The COVID-19 vaccine is administered to a doctor at Beaumont Service Center in Southfield in December 2020. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's MI Shot to Win vaccination lottery program isn't doing much to convince vaccine-hesitant residents to get inoculated. As of July 13, about 62.4 percent of Michigan residents 16 or older have received at least one dose of the vaccine. That's an increase of less than 1 percentage point since Whitmer announced the lottery on July 1, when those 16 and older with one dose stood at 61.7 percent. With the highly transmissible COVID-19 delta variant metastasizing across the U.S. and vaccination rates in decline for months, the trend is worrisome. But it should be no surprise the governor's lottery program is failing. These programs simply don't produce the correct incentive.
