- Abstract
- Uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine remains too low in the US as COVID-19 variant cases and hospitalizations continue to rise. Nudges that remove barriers and facilitate action can increase vaccine uptake. Many states, North Carolina included, have announced incentive programs to motivate COVID-19 vaccination, including lotteries for $1 million. However, these large but uncertain financial prizes benefit only a few lucky winners and do not broadly address access barriers to vaccination. In contrast, guaranteed small financial incentives can offset costs related to lost wages, transportation, and childcare.
