New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said he is considering cash incentives to lure people to get vaccinated.
“All things are on the table,” Murphy said Friday of a potential cash lure during an interview on Fox’s “Good Day New York.” The state already is running a “Shot and a Beer” program, with free beverages at New Jersey breweries for people who can show proof of their first vaccine through May 31.
