Switzerland to spend 6 million encouraging the fearful and indifferent to get vaccinated As the number of unvaccinated people turning up for a shot dwindles and vaccination centres close, Switzerland’s federal government is launching a promotional effort to encourage those indifferent to or afraid of jabs to come forward and get vaccinated against Covid-19. Switzerland’s vaccination programme has almost ground to a halt. The percentage of the population that has had one shot or more has stagnated at around 52% over the past week. The bulk of those getting vaccinated are now people getting their follow up shots. Over the recent week, the number that had had two shots rose from 40% to 43%.
