MADISON, Wis. (WXOW) – The state is extending the opportunity for people to get $100 if they receive a dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services said Friday the program, slated to originally end on September 6, is now extended to September 19.
Any resident 12 or older is eligible. A statement from the governor’s office said that proof of insurance, ID, or citizenship isn’t required to be eligible for the vaccine or the $100 reward.
The $100 COVID-19 Vaccine Reward Program is part of an ongoing effort to stop the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant by encouraging Wisconsinites to get vaccinated.
In a statement from the governor’s office, it said that more than 65,000 people received their first dose of vaccine between August 20, when the program began, and September 1.
“We’re excited to see so many Wisconsinites across the state rolling up their sleeves to get the COVID-19 vaccine to help protect the health and safety of themselves and others and claiming their $100 reward,” said Gov. Evers. “I’m glad to be able to extend this program to give others the opportunity to take advantage of this great offer, and to do their part to help protect our state and stop the spread of the Delta variant.”
To claim the $100 Visa gift card, Wisconsin residents must fill out a form found at 100.wisconsin.gov.
