Although cards are available to all adults, there will be a special focus on Family Planning Medicaid beneficiaries. Vaccination rates are particularly low among the Family Planning Medicaid population.

“Keep your family safe for the holidays and get vaccinated TODAY! First dose recipients can get $100 in prepaid cards for their holiday shopping,” said Dr. Jennifer Green, Cumberland County Public Health Director. “Our hope is that this will encourage our community to come out and get vaccinated.”
