"If you are still waiting to get your vaccine, this is your chance to get $100 just for rolling up your sleeves," said Gov. TIm Walz.
TWIN CITIES, MN — Starting Wednesday, Minnesotans can submit their requests for the $100 vaccination rewards program. Minnesotans 12 and older can submit a request for a $100 Visa gift card if they received their first dose of the vaccine on July 30 or later.
"If you are still waiting to get your vaccine, this is your chance to get $100 just for rolling up your sleeves," said Walz.
"We face a critical juncture in the pandemic – the Delta variant is pushing cases up across the country, including right here in Minnesota. As we head into the fall and kids go back to school, the best tool we have to fight COVID-19 is any of the three safe, free, and highly effective vaccines. Now is the time to get your shot, and get $100, Minnesota."
