On Tuesday, Lina Hidalgo, a Harris County Judge, said that a week after, public health regulators in the most populous county of Texas started giving a hundred bucks to those locals receiving their first jab of Coronavirus vaccine. She confirmed that the number of daily inoculations has ramped up six times compared to the previous pace.
Lina Hidalgo described that they had an inkling that something was going right after she started her announcement about the incentive that she made at noon, and by the time she was done, thirty minutes later, there was a line of vehicles waiting to get the vaccine jab. She said that they have not seen those lines for months.
She further described, to encourage and accommodate the mounting demand, the nation will be starting an additional mass inoculation site and enlarging its mobile vaccine program. Furthermore, she said that you have to be creative, and we are observing the results and going to doubling down on it.

The incentive program has remained highly effective for vaccinations
Earlier Tuesday, Harris County regulators started the incentive package to startup stuck inoculations in Houston and surrounding regions and to offer relief to the area’s stressed medical centers during what health regulators describe as the worst Coronavirus surge of cases in the region has seen since the epidemic COVID-19 started the earlier year.
Lina Hidalgo explained that for the three weeks ahead of the incentive program launched, the HCPH (Harris County Public Health) was managing an average of 431 1st doses regularly. Moreover, on the day when the statement was released, the figure reached 914. After this, the next day, around 1596 Americans got their first vaccine dose from public health providers.
Thus far Saturday, only the 4th day into the incentive program, around 2700 Americans have received their first jab, described Lina Hidalgo.
In Texas, from April to May, demand for Coronavirus vaccines started to decrease as well across the United States due to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Americans. By that time, fewer than a quarter of the Texas public was completely inoculated.
