Katherine Mannix is one of nearly 300 students who have earned a reward so far this semester in the university's vaccination incentive program.

Another week means another group of students have earned rewards through the university’s vaccination incentive program. Nearly 300 students have earned one of the many rewards that have been given out this semester, and there were 25 new winners this week.

Any student is eligible to win just by getting a COVID-19 vaccination and can still sign up if they haven’t already by entering to win.

Weekly drawings are held every Wednesday. The next drawing is scheduled for Nov. 17.

Additional weekly drawings will be held throughout the semester for COVID-19 vaccination incentives. All vaccinated U of A students who enter are eligible. Currently unvaccinated students can become eligible at any point in the semester as soon as they are vaccinated and have entered to win. Students only need to enter once to be eligible for all of the weekly drawings.

Each week, at least 15 prizes, including three $500 scholarships, will be awarded to vaccinated students who have entered to win. New winning names will be drawn randomly each week. So, the sooner students get vaccinated (and entered), the sooner they become eligible for the weekly drawings. 

Enter to win COVID-19 vaccination Incentives.

Proof of vaccination (defined as one dose of Johnson & Johnson or second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine) will be required to claim prizes.
