We are nothing if not responsive to good ideas. Since then, we’ve seen more states, including Maryland, New York, and Oregon announce similar programs. In several counties, the rate of vaccination doubled compared to before the announcement. In the days after Ohio announced the program, the state saw a 55 percent increase in its vaccination rate among younger adults 20 to 49 years of age. Vaccines - patriotic, free, good for your social life, and a chance to win. The only way to win is to get vaccinated. So, every week for the next five weeks, one Ohioan will win $1 million. Some of those things might encourage people to think about what might otherwise be a lower priority. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has unlocked a secret: People do care about getting vaccinated, but it turns out they also have other things they care about. So I begin by talking about VAX-a-Million. Today, one of my goals is to avoid embarrassment, and therefore, I will focus my remarks squarely on the serious business of the progress of vaccinating the country.
