As for the bill on rewards for vaccinated individuals, the legislation will allow the ministry to organize a lottery on a weekly basis, with the prize pool being capped at EUR 2 million per draw, according to a report by news agency TASR.

People will get a ticket for each shot they've received, while those who've been vaccinated with the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine will also get two tickets. All the vaccinated aged over 18 can join the lottery – even those who already received their jabs earlier in the past. The ministry will also be able to reward those who persuade other people to get vaccinated. This reward is to be scaled according to age.
