St. Louis offers incentives for shots

As COVID19 hospitalizations climb, St. Louis is offering incentives for some city employees to get immunized, while thousands are registering for a statewide vaccine lottery. St. Louis said in a news release Tuesday that nearly 6,000 of its workers will be eligible to receive $100 in gift cards and can use paid time off to get vaccinated. Missouri has the nation’s fourthworst COVID19 diagnosis rate over the past week, with one in every 360 people diagnosed with COVID19.
