Earn $100 At Gwinnett's 'Healthy, Vibrant and Vaxx' Event

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — District 3 Commissioner Jasper Watkins III is partnering with community organizations to host the Healthy, Vibrant and Vaxxed Walk-in Vaccine Clinic Saturday, Feb. 26.

From 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Lenora Park gym, 4515 Lenora Church Road in Snellville, people will have an opportunity to get their COVID-19 vaccine and earn $100 while supplies last, according to a news release. Vaccines will be available ages 5 and up. All three authorized vaccine types — Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson — will be available onsite.

“Vaccination rates among minority communities have fallen behind in this area of Gwinnett, and the County, with the support of several community partners, are working to ensure that all residents have every opportunity to protect themselves and their loved ones by getting a COVID-19 vaccine,” said Watkins in the release. “The vaccines have proven extremely effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death, and it’s time to roll up our sleeves and so that no more Gwinnettians lose their lives to this virus.”

Gift cards will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early. No appointments will be taken.

Commissioner Watkins said he hopes the event will boost awareness of the importance of COVID-19 vaccines and help raise vaccination rates during Black History Month.
