Beijing: A Beijing suburb is giving out discount coupons for supermarkets to residents who have received a Covid-19 jab, as China tries to boost the uptake of its vaccines. China aims to vaccinate 40 percent of its population against the coronavirus by the end of July. The national health commission on Wednesday said that only 82.8 million vaccine doses have been administered so far.
