When it comes to vaccines, is it time to abandon the carrot for the stick?; Minnesota Public Radio (MPR), January 11, 2022

Susan Davis and Kerri Miller, Minnesota Public Radio (MPR); When it comes to vaccines, is it time to abandon the carrot for the stick?

"Incentives like gift cards aren’t working to get people vaccinated. Rates have stalled or dropped, and public health officials all over the country are nervous.

Guest host Kerri Miller speaks with two public health researchers on motivating the masses to get vaccinated for the common good."
