$25 Cash Card Vaccination Incentive Event Planned In Cornelius

CORNELIUS, NC — North Carolina's incentive program offering residents a $25 cash card as incentive for COVID-19 vaccinations expanded this week in the Charlotte metro and the state, according to North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

An event distributing the cash cards is planned Sunday, June 27 at Union Bethel AME Zion Church, located at 20736 Catawba Avenue in Cornelius, from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.

The $25 Summer Cash Card program is designed to offset the time and transportation costs associated with getting a first dose of vaccine. Anyone 18 and older who gets their first dose of vaccine or anyone who drives someone to their vaccination appointment is eligible to receive a $25 cash card.

News of the expansion to 44 counties in the state comes after DHHS conducted a test program beginning in late May, which officials said was successful.
