With the average hospital bill of a covid-19 patient in an American ICU clocking in at $13,500 per day, Ohio’s lottery programme managed to avoid $66m in hospital charges
. Several states have done just that, starting with Ohio. On May 12th Mike DeWine, the state governor, announced the launch of the Vax-A-Million programme. Between May 26th and June 23rd individuals who received at least one dose of any covid-19 vaccine could opt into a lottery that would reward five with $1m each and five youths aged 12-17 with full scholarships to an Ohio public university of their choice. The initiative cost $5.6m.
The researchers found that Vax-A-Million increased vaccination rates in Ohio by 1.5%, meaning that an additional 82,000 people received their first jab during the lottery period. The effects of this were seen in the state’s rate of infections and days spent in intensive-care units receiving treatment for covid-19, which decreased by 1.3% and 2.6% respectively, compared with the synthetic Ohio. .

UK review finds COVID-19 shots do not raise risk of miscarriage'There is no pattern from the reports to suggest that any of the COVID-19 vaccines used in the UK, or any reactions to these vaccines, increase the risk of miscarriage or stillbirth,' the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said in a statement. The MHRA's findings are in line with a similar review from Europe earlier this month, which showed no causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and menstrual disorders.
