“(Vaccination is) a decision you should make in consultation with a health professional,” Mr. Winkler co-founded MYOB and MYOB, said in an announcement. “The promotion simply seeks to reward people who decide to be vaccinated now rather than waiting, so that we can reduce the community impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
