Sad that the supposedly more highly educated are holding back so much, but I guess it shows the power of social media.

Peru is having some success with young adults through Vacunathons and Vacuna Fests. Make it more joyful.

Maybe things like discount vouchers or rebates on fees would also help. I'm sure the students themselves could suggest more incentives. If they don't work, we'll all be facing a big rebound, with more serious variants going on world tours.
