Lengvarsky in favour of any way of motivating people to get Covid jab

Slovak Health Minister Vladimir Lengvarsky said before a cabinet meeting on Wednesday that he was in favour of any way of motivating people to have themselves vaccinated against Covid. On this note, the minister conceded that he doesn't know how many people could be persuaded by a recent proposal of Finance Minister Igor Matovic, who would like to give 500 vouchers to the elderly as a reward for having themselves inoculated. Lengvarsky remarked in this vein that the entire pandemic had been a costly matter.
