Public Health offering $100 gift cards at COVID vaccine clinic today

Dayton Daily News - 9/14/2021

Sep. 14—Public Health — Dayton & Montgomery County is offering $100 gift cards to patients receiving their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at a Huber Heights clinic today.

The clinic is from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Dayton Metro Library at 6160 Chambersburg Road in Huber Heights. Those attending should bring their ID.

It's the first vaccine clinic organized by Public Health where the gift cards will be offered as an effort to encourage vaccination. Public Health received 1,000 $100 gift cards through a grant from the Ohio Department of Health and the gift cards will be given out while supplies last.

The gift cards are only available to those receiving their first dose of the vaccine.

"Vaccination is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones from severe illness, hospitalization or death from COVID-19," said Montgomery County Health Commissioner Jeff Cooper. "The incentive is being offered to help motivate the unvaccinated to receive the vaccine as quickly as possible to reduce the recent surge of severe illness and hospitalization."

As of Monday, 50.87% of Montgomery County residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to ODH. Statewide, 52.89% of residents have started the vaccine series. The county had 184 people receive their first dose in the last day.

Public Health is offering gift cards at other additional vaccine clinics, including:

Wednesdays, 8 a.m. — Noon, Starting Sept. 15, Dayton Convention Center, 22 E. Fifth St.
