Abstract
Incentives for receiving a COVID-19 vaccination have made the news recently. Inducements range from a free beer to airline tickets, even a chance at a million-dollar lottery. Incentivizing individual healthy behaviors is not a new concept; it has been used for decades to influence family planning. In 1956, India, as a means of population control, offered 30 rupees ($7 US) to anyone who underwent sterilization.1 I am aware of a social service agency that serves young adults with mental illness that offers $50 for each dose of long-acting progesterone an individual receives.
