Those who are fully vaccinated make up 49% of the population, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/de-blasio-considering-lottery-vaccinated-new-yorkers-ohio\">Fox News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day we\u2019re seeing continuing progress on vaccination,\u201d the mayor said. \u201cI think the number one reason that\u2019s happening is because we\u2019ve made it ever more convenient, more local, walk-in, mobile vaccination centers. I think all of this is making it real easy for people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New Yorkers who receive the COVID vaccine have other incentives for which they qualify.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/site\/coronavirus\/vaccines\/vaccine-incentives.page\">NYC COVID-19 portal<\/a>, vaccinated New Yorkers can receive:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Free tickets to:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>NYC FC<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Brooklyn Cyclones<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Lincoln Center<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>NYC Ferry 10-Ride Pass<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Bronx Zoo<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>NY Aquarium<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>NY Botanical Garden and Brooklyn Botanical Garden<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Global Citizen<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Governor\u2019s Ball<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Gift cards:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>$15 to Chelsea Market gift card provided by Google<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>$25 to NYC Public Markets<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Discounts:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>20% off at NYC City Store<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Nets Playoff merchandise at Barclays<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Free food:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Free fries from Shake Shack with purchase for anyone who has been vaccinated<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Voucher for a free burger or sandwich from Shake Shack when vaccinated at an NYC mobile vaccine site<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Memberships:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Two-week memberships to Citibike<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Membership to Public Theater<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The news comes after Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) announced last week that anyone in his state who receives the COVID vaccine will be entered into a drawing to win $1 million. There will be five winners over the course of five weeks, per a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ohio-governor-mike-dewine-announces-massive-financial-incentive-for-residents-to-get-vaccinated\">The Daily Wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Buckeye State is also holding a lottery for kids who receive the coronavirus vaccine. Their drawing, however, is for five full-ride scholarships to attend an in-state college or university.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting our 12- to 17-year-olds vaccinated is so important that we will have a separate incentive for them,\u201d DeWine said. \u201cOn Wednesday, May 26th, we will announce the winner of a drawing of all those 17 years old and under who have been vaccinated, and the winner will receive a full, four-year scholarship to our State of Ohio universities. This will include tuition, room and board, and books.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn May 18th, an electronic portal will be opened up for young people who have been vaccinated to be able to register,\u201d the governor added. \u201cWe will do this every Wednesday, for five straight Wednesdays \u2014 each time randomly selecting one student to receive the full, four-year scholarship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
