“#Cattle for raffle gets Thai town in moood for vaccines<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A district of northern Thailand has launched a raffle campaign for inoculated 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.<\/p>\n

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 ($319).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vaccine registration numbers have gone from hundreds to thousands in a couple of days,\u201d district chief Boonlue Thamtharanurak told Reuters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe villagers love cows. Cows can be sold for cash.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The town will start vaccinations on June 7, in line with the government\u2019s national rollout.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

At least 1.64 million of Thailand\u2019s 66 million population, have already received their first doses and more than 7 million have registered so far.<\/p>\n

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.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
