Prime Minister Gaston Browne says KFC may be offered as an incentive for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Speaking on the Browne and Browne radio show on Pointe FM, the Prime Minister said he has been told KFC seems to be a popular option.
He said the government may well be prepared to explore the option of giving a bucket of KFC for the first COVID-19 jab.
Currently, residents can benefit from a EC$50 food voucher and will next week benefit from a $50 gas voucher with the first COVID-19 jab.
Browne says this is not strange considering that other countries are offering their own incentives such as cannabis and lottery winnings in exchange for the jab.
So far about 32 thousand residents have been vaccinated.
Browne, who is also Finance Minister, says if 70,000 residents are not vaccinated in coming months, there will be serious consequences for the country.
One response to “Antigua government may offer KFC for first COVID-19 jab, PM Browne says”
Shame on the PM instead of encouraging ppl to strenghten their immune system he is putting them in an unhealthy position, he is setting them up for Covid 19
