HONG KONG, May 31 (Reuters) - Hong Kong will offer civil
servants who get vaccinated against COVID-19 a day off for each
dose, the government said on Monday, as authorities struggle to
boost a sluggish innoculation rate among the city's 7.5 million
population. 
    Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip, speaking at a
press conference, also called on private companies to offer
similar incentives to ramp up the lacklustre take-up ratio of
vaccines in the global financial hub.
