In Europe, there is still comparatively little to get for those who have been vaccinated. Serbian citizens receive the equivalent of around 25 euros per vaccination. In Greece, the state gives 18 to 25-year-olds vouchers worth 150 euros. The Greeks can use the money as mobile phone credit or for flight and train tickets, hotels, campsites and tickets for theaters, concerts or cinemas. In southern France, those who want to be vaccinated receive annual subscriptions for bicycles or free concert tickets. In Switzerland, too, some cantons are offering incentives, for example in the form of shopping vouchers for vaccinated administrative employees.
While vaccinated people around the world have been enjoying goodies and cash prizes for months, the debate regarding vaccination gifts in Germany is only slowly beginning. There are no big prizes (yet), but there are a few tasty consolation prizes: At vaccination parties in Bavaria, for example, there are free sausages plus free drinks following the prick.
