β€œStaying up to date on vaccines, including boosters, is the most effective way to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19,” according to the news release. β€œWhile vaccine protection goes down over time, boosters keep you protected. Boosters also help keep you safe from serious COVID-19 even if you’ve already had it.”

No ID or health insurance is required to get boosted or vaccinated. The gift card offer is only available at clinics on the Get Boosted webpage. If you have questions or need help finding a clinic, you can call 211 (or 877-211-6277).
