USA TODAY<\/span><\/p>\n Roughly 4.88 million Ohioans have received at least one shot of an FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccination. But the bulk of them were eager to be vaccinated and they snapped up early appointments to get their shots.<\/p>\n Now public health experts are looking for ways to convince\u00a0people who are hesitant to get vaccinated against the deadly disease.<\/p>\n West Virginia announced last week that residents ages 16 to 35 would be eligible to receive a $100 savings bond if they get vaccinated. New Jersey announced a “shot and a beer” program for residents 21 and up to get a free beer when they get vaccinated.<\/p>\n The Kentucky Lottery is giving away coupons for a free Cash Ball game ticket to adults who get their first or second vaccine shot at Kroger or Walmart stores.<\/p>\n The state of Maine is offering free hunting or fishing licenses, LL Bean gift cards or other prizes to residents who get their vaccines by Memorial Day.<\/p>\n The\u00a0UCLA COVID-19 Health and Politics Project found that people said they would\u00a0be more willing to be vaccinated if offered cash payments of $25 to $100.<\/p>\n
