セブ島のラプラプ市の弁護士であるジェームズ・マーソンは、ワクチン接種したひとに何かしらの割引特典を与えるように、食料品や衣類を扱うショップオーナーに呼びかけています！
その結果、セブの主要なスーパーマーケットや食料品店では、ワクチン接種者に対して割引をするように求められるようになりました。
しかし、まだ正式決定ではなく、この弁護士と予防接種センター（LVOC）との決議で承認されるとのことです。この議会でどれだけの割引率にするかも具体的になる模様です。
セブでは、11月末までに集団免疫を獲得するため、人口の70%のワクチン接種完了を目指しています。
早く接種が進み、感染者が減り、地元の人にとっても金銭的特典が得られるのを期待したいところです。

LAPU-LAPU CITY, CEBU Philippines — Major supermarkets and grocery stores will be asked to give discounts to vaccinated individuals.
Lawyer James Sayson, deputy chief for the Local Vaccination Operations Center (LVOC), said that on Tuesday, September 7, he would meet with the grocery store owners to discuss such an initiative.
“Mag-meeting pa ko ato by Tuesday. Makig-istorya pa ko, it’s a working proposal,” Sayson said. (in Cebuano language)
(This proposal will still need to be presented to the store owners and to be approved by them, in our meeting this Tuesday.)
Sayson said that in that particular meeting, they would also identify how much discount would be given to privileged customers by the grocery store owners.
The proposal, Sayson said, would encourage more Oponganons (People in Lapu-lapu) to participate in the city’s vaccination rollout.
This is after they have observed the decline in the number of individuals visiting the vaccination sites.
It has been the aim of the city government to achieve herd immunity, or 70 percent of its population to be vaccinated by the end of November this year.
Currently, Sayson said that the city had already vaccinated nearly 150,000 individuals for the first dose, while more than 90,000 individuals were already fully vaccinated.
