Kalamazoo families could win $50 for receiving their COVID-19 vaccine – MLive.com

KALAMAZOO, MI -- In an effort to encourage students and their families to get vaccinated, Kalamazoo Public Schools is offering a chance to win $50 gift cards to those who start and complete the vaccination process in the coming months.

KPS students, staff and their families who receive both doses of the vaccine between the dates of Dec. 10 and Feb. 1 could win a $50 Visa gift card. The incentive was made possible by a grant from the United Way, according to a promotional flyer provided by the district.

To enter the drawing, families should provide proof of vaccination to the district by emailing morinjl@kalamazoopublicschools.org.

While students and their families can get vaccinated anywhere to be eligible for the gift cards, the district is hosting two of its own vaccination clinics in January. KPS partnered with OptiMed to host the clinics at Hillside Middle School, 1941 Alamo Ave. The two clinics are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 8, and Saturday, Jan. 28.

The Pfizer vaccine for children age 5 years old and up and the flu vaccine will both be available at the clinic. Families should preregister to get their vaccine online at covid19kzoo.as.me/kps.
