(AP) — Officials in Hawaiʻi are preparing to announce new incentives for people to get vaccinated. While details are thin, Hawaiʻi News Now reported Monday that officials with the Hawaiʻi Restaurant Association and the Retail Merchants of Hawaiʻi said they were asked to find businesses willing to participate. Hawaiʻi Lt. Gov. Josh Green said more details would be announced soon. He also said he would reach out to hotels in Las Vegas to see if they would participate. Hawaiʻi has administered about 1.5 million doses of the coronavirus vaccine. Green said the state hopes to get about 2 million shots in arms.
