In California, people have received anywhere from $25 to $1 million for getting the shot.
SAN DIEGO — A new UC San Diego study reveals whether offering people money helps reduce vaccine hesitancy.They surveyed more than 1,500 people on whether incentives ranging from $10 to $500 would motivate them to get vaccinated. The study shows $100 compensation increased vaccine willingness by 4.5 percent and $500 by about 15 percent to 20 percent.
"Putting such a low monetary compensation associated with it would make it look like it's a low price tag and perhaps low quality," said Serra-Garcia. Serra-Garcia says the study shows $50 offers did little to nudge people distrusting the vaccine. While the lotteries were large amounts, other studies show the probability of winning made them small incentives.
Some states and cities have also begun using monetary incentives to increase children's vaccinations. However, Serra-Garcia believes when it comes to convincing parents to let their children get the shot, education may be the better option.
