Officials extend $100 incentive for COVID-19 vaccine

Wisconsinites who receive a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine can get $100.

The rewards program was extended to Sept. 19, and it’s open to those 12 and older. Gov. Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services announced the extension on Sept. 3.

Between Aug. 20 and Sept. 1, more than 65,000 Wisconsin residents received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

To receive the reward, fill out the form posted at 100.wisconsin.gov or call 844-684-1064. Registration is necessary to confirm individuals have received the first dose and that it has been reported to the Wisconsin Immunization Registry. To qualify for the $100, vaccines must have been received between Aug. 20 and Sept. 19.

Rewards cards will be mailed to the individual’s address and may take six to eight weeks to arrive.
