A US state says it will offer young people a $100 (£72) savings bond if they receive a Covid-19 vaccine.

West Virginia says it ทดลองเล่นสล็อต xo ทุกเกม hopes the payment for those aged 16 to 35 will "motivate" them to get the jab.

"Our kids today probably don't really realise just how important they are in shutting this thing down," State Governor Jim Justice said on Monday.

West Virginia had been among the top US states for vaccination rates, but progress has slowed in recent weeks.

There are particular concerns that younger people may be more hesitant about receiving a jab.

The incentive means those who are vaccinated within the age group can retrieve the $100, plus interest, at a later date. It will also be offered to anyone aged 16 to 35 who has already been vaccinated.

West Virginia has the 16th highest rate of new coronavirus cases per person among US states, according to the New York Times.

Conversely, a Miami school has discouraged teachers from getting the Covid vaccine, saying any vaccinated employees will be barred from interacting with students.
