[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Local health departments in Georgia are trying to increase uptake of the new booster by giving people a $100 gift card if they get the shot.

Historically incentives have helped.  I think Krispy Kreme donuts and others offered to help.[/quote]
Seems like gift cards are popular. Georgia is giving away $100 Walmart gift cards if people get the new vaccine. Kansas City is giving $25 Walmart gift cards for the same purpose, with funding provided through HHS grants.

"People who are 65 or older or have a disability can qualify for two $25 Walmart gift cards — one for each shot they receive [flu and covid]. In addition to getting the vaccines, participants have to fill out a survey to receive the gift cards, which are funded by the Center for Popular Democracy through a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services."

As of 2021, CDC funded programs can give as much as a $100 gift card per person as an incentive to take a covid vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/orr/readiness/00_docs/using_federal_funds_to_support_covid-19_response_incentives_update_august_12_final.pdf[/quote]
