Vaccinations have fallen substantially in recent years, so officials have begun to insist on more vaccinations being provided at megastores and city centers, or are offering other incentives to get people to come in for shots.

In addition, the chancellor and the state governors will need to make a decision whether to charge again for free antigen tests for individuals who are not vaccinated and who may use the tests to assess cultural and entertainment venues.
