It's part of the country's push to reach an ambitious target of immunising 40% of its population of 1.4 billion by June.
 

Some Weibo users in Beijing have circulated a poster, which says residents over the age of 60 who are vaccinated "can get two cartons of fresh eggs for free".
 

Tina Liu, from Beijing, said a local grocery shop in her neighbourhood was promoting veggies for the vaccinated.
 

"Soon after the vaccine was rolling out, the grocery shop beside my building had put out a sign, saying, 'If you are vaccinated, you are qualified to get a whole box of vegetables with 5 yuan only'," she said.
 

In Beijing, the vaccinated can also be rewarded with a buy-one-get-one-free ice cream cone.
 

One restaurant was offering free chicken wings and dumplings, while others were offering colourful certificates and even cash in exchange for getting the jab.
 

"Villagers who are not vaccinated will be blacklisted from the government's welfare. It would also impact their children's education, work and house buying," a government directive in Wanning, a country town in Hainan province, stated.
 

Officials have since apologised, and cancelled that directive, which also prohibited public transport for the unvaccinated.
 

打疫苗送鸡蛋,冰淇淋还买一送一

对生活在北京的市井小民来说,「打疫苗」也几乎快成为生活中的必要「元素」。
 

除了官方的疫苗宣导,如今走在北京街头,都能看见商家在门上贴出「本企业目前接种率达到XX%」的「疫苗接种承诺公告」;公寓、办公大楼更随处可见「共筑免疫长城」的海报。此外,每个社区人潮往来处更设有流动式「疫苗接种宣传站」,宣导接种讯息。北京郊区大兴一个街区的办法是,谁先打了两剂疫苗,谁会得到赠送的消费券,在北京另一个小区,当局承诺,凡60岁以上愿意接种者,每人赠送两盒鸡蛋。还有的地方保证,谁来接种,谁就会得到免费参观雍和宫的门票。这座北京著名的佛殿,入门票:25元人民币。北京景山街道接种点贴出大幅告示:“领鸡蛋了”,60岁以上老年人愿意接种的赠送“鲜鸡蛋5斤”。还有“买一送一,冰激凌奖励”,在北京王府井一个疫苗接种中心起了作用,人们在一辆停在外面的大黄色麦当劳冰淇淋卡车前排起了队。
