REUTERS/Sukree Sukplang (THAILAND) BANGKOK (Reuters) - A district of northern Thailand has launched a raffle campaign for its vaccinated residents to win a live cow per week for the rest of the year, in a bid to boost the local COVID-19 vaccination drive. From next month, one lucky vaccinated villager in the Mae Chaem district of Chiang Mai province will be randomly chosen every week to win a young cow worth around 10,000 baht ($318.78). The campaign, set to run for 24 weeks, has been met with enthusiasm in the town of 43,000 since it was announced earlier this week. "Our vaccine registration numbers have gone from hundreds to thousands in a couple of days," district chief Boonlue Thamtharanurak told Reuters. "The villagers love cows. Cows can be sold for cash." More than 4,000 people in priority groups, including those over 60 years old and those with pre-existing conditions, have already registered for their shots, Boonlue said. The town will start vaccinations on June 7, in line with the government's national rollout. Other provinces in Thailand have also come up with creative incentives to boost registration, such as gold necklace giveaways, store discount coupons, or cash handouts. At least 1.64 million of Thailand's 66 million population, have already received their first doses and more than 7 million have registered so far. The Southeast Asian country has been hit by its biggest coronavirus outbreak so far, with the majority of its 119,585 cases and 703 deaths recorded in the past two months. -- © Copyright Reuters 2021-05-20 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's today's story. I wonder what the story will be if this date passes by? Perhaps a new registration drive for flying pigs? 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 A bar in New Orleans, Louisiana in the U.S. was offering a bowl of beef noodles, a vaccination shot and a shot on the house for free. Not sure if the second shot was for the Irish flu or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10baht Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think Ohio is giving those who get the vaccine a ticket for a million dollar lottery for only those getting the shot. And for younger ones a free college year or at least semester. Stick or carrot ? What ever works, let's just make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you never see reports about a masked man going into a cow shop in Big C and stealing a herd of cows while the assistant was distracted. I'd love to see them on the back of his getaway bike. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
