Louisiana is expanding the Shot for 100 Campaign. Assistant Secretary for the state Office of Public Health, Kim Hood says during October, unvaccinated individuals will receive a 100-dollar Visa gift card after receiving their first COVID vaccine shot.
“Register that card at the shot for 100 website and about 24-hours later you’ll have $100 to go out and spend anyway you like,” said Hood.
This limited-time offer for the general public will end on October 30th. Hood says patients must receive the vaccine at participating community-based sites listed at shotfor100.com.
“We will get you in and out of the site quickly, the shot is very, very quick and painless and we are super excited to be able to offer this to all Louisianans who have not had their first dose,” said Hood.
This campaign was first offered to college students back in August and federal coronavirus relief funds are paying for this initiative. Hood says minors are also eligible for the cash incentive.
“If you are between the ages of 12 and 17, you absolutely qualify for shot for 100, you need a parent or legal guardian consent to get the vaccine,” said Hood.
