CVS Mission Viejo Gets Customers One Step Closer To Vaccination

MISSION VIEJO, CA — Starting June 1, eligible customers who received or plan to receive a COVID-19 vaccination through CVS Health may choose to enter the #OneStepCloser sweepstakes for an opportunity to win one of over a thousand fun and exciting prizes through weekly drawings and grand prizes over a six-week period.

Dr. Kyu Rhee, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS discussed the move to encourage the unvaccinated to take that next step toward protection from coronavirus.

“We're grateful for the millions of people who’ve received one of the well over 17 million doses we’ve administered at CVS Health, but we have a long way to go,” said Rhee. “Getting as much of the population fully vaccinated will bring us one step closer to all the things we’ve missed during the past 14 months, and keep our country moving in the right direction.”

In Mission Viejo, your CVS is located at 25272 Marguerite Parkway, among many local locations.

According to the most recent CDC household pulse survey COVID-19 vaccination tracker, 17.6% of adults 18 years and over are hesitant about receiving a vaccine.

CVS Health is working to close gaps in hesitancy, and through the #OneStepCloser sweepstakes, provide a positive reminder of the activities that are possible once vaccinated.
