Last Days To Get $75 For COVID-19 Shots In Worcester

WORCESTER, MA — There are just a few COVID-19 vaccine clinics left in March where you can get a $75 gift card for getting any version of the shot.

The state Department of Public Health brought back COVID-19 vaccine incentives last month. For each COVID-19 booster or first or second dose, anyone eligible to get a vaccine will get a $75 gift card, according to the state.

The vaccine is available in versions for people as young as 6 months, according to DPH. The shots are free, and neither health insurance nor an ID are necessary.

"Staying up to date on vaccines, including boosters, is the most effective way to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. While 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," the state DPH said in a news release.
