Slovakia parlt approves vaccination lottery

Parliament on Friday approved two Finance Ministry-sponsored bills that will introduce financial aid for travel agencies to help them with reimbursing advance payments to clients who could not go on paid trips due to the pandemic and related measures and financial compensation for people who already have or will opt to get vaccinated against Covid-19. As for the bill on rewards for vaccinated individuals, the legislation will allow the Finance Ministry to organise a lottery on a weekly basis, with the prize pool being capped at 2 million euros per draw. People will get a ticket for each shot they've received, while those who've been vaccinated with the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine will also get two tickets.
