The decision seems to have been made with the intention of encouraging people to get vaccinated. Leica Shing CK Group, in particular, along with its charitable organizations, launched the scheme on Tuesday. 

Those who share evidence of two-dose vaccination will receive $ 2.6 million worth of shopping vouchers as a gift through the lottery.

New World Growth Co., led by another billionaire Adrian Cheng, will offer $ 10 million in Hong Kong city to low-income people who have been vaccinated, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said.

Lam further added the value of vouchers and other lottery programs had exceeded 120 million Hong Kong dollars.

Many corporate companies and restaurants in Hong Kong have already announced cash payments, vouchers, and other benefits for their employees. Sino Group’s charity NG Teng Fang Charitable Foundation and Chinese Estates Holdings Ltd jointly announced last month that they would be gifting a brand-new apartment worth 1.4 million in the Kwan Tong area.

Also, two other major Hong Kong companies also introduced incentive packages this month.

According to Bloomberg’s Covid-19 Vaccine Tracker, just roughly 15.1 percent of Hong Kong’s people, i.e., 7.5 million, have been adequately vaccinated.

Last month, the government declared that the rate of vaccination would increase by September, with measures such as paid vacation for inoculated officials and potential extra limitations for non-vaccinated residents.

Boosting Hong Kong’s rate is crucial for company owners. The low numbers hinder the city’s ability to reach herd immunity — vital to fully reopening the economy and protecting it against more transmittable mutant Covid strains.

Incentives from local companies seem to help in the consumption of vaccines. Approximately 34,600 individuals booked for vaccination sessions from BioNTech SE and China’s Sinovac Biotech Ltd within 24 hours of announcements of lottery and other incentives. States the official statements.
