GCDPH to Offer $25 Cash Cards to COVID-19 Vaccine Recipients and Transporters as Part of NC DHHS Incentive Program

Post Date:06/01/2021 3:53 PM

The Guilford County Division of Public Health (GCDPH) has been selected by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) as one of four counties to host a COVID-19 vaccine incentive program.

Beginning Tuesday, June 1 through June 8, the GCDPH will offer $25 cash cards to anyone aged 18 and older who:

  • Completes a first-dose vaccination appointment.
  • Transports an individual to their vaccination appointment (limit of one cash card per visit).
  • Those transporting individuals to the vaccine clinic must attest that they are not a driver for a transportation service such as Uber, Lyft, or a taxi company.

     

Cash cards will be provided to the GCDPH by the NC DHHS and will remain available while supply lasts.

Cash card incentives will only be available at the Guilford County Greensboro Coliseum vaccination site

(1921 W. Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27403).

Community members should note that cash card incentives are only available on the Guilford County side of the Greensboro Coliseum site. Cash cards will not be distributed to those scheduled for appointments through Cone Health, who also hosts vaccine clinics at the Greensboro Coliseum.

Dr. Iulia Vann, Director of the GCDPH said, “This incentive program is an incredible addition towards our efforts in helping to alleviate time and transportation barriers to COVID-19 vaccines. I am so grateful that Guilford County was among the counties selected to host this program.”

Upcoming vaccine clinics at the Greensboro Coliseum will be held:

  • June 1 & 4: Administering Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • June 2: Administering Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson from 12:00 PM – 7:00 PM
