Where To Get $100 For Your First COVID-19 Vaccine In New Berlin

NEW BERLIN, WI — Anyone in Wisconsin that gets their first COVID-19 vaccination shot before Sept. 6 will also receive $100 from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the agency announced this week.

Anyone in Wisconsin 12 and up that gets the vaccine in time will be eligible for a Visa gift card, delivered by mail. The new Wisconsin incentive came the same day the FDA fully approved the Pfizer vaccine for anyone 16 and up. Pfizer's vaccine is emergency use authorized for people between the age of 12 and 15.

"The public can be very confident that this vaccine meets the high standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality the FDA requires of an approved product," said acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock. "Today's milestone puts us one step closer to altering the course of this pandemic in the U.S."

Here's how to collect a gift card in Wisconsin for getting vaccinated:

• Get a first dose of any COVID-19 vaccine from a Wisconsin provider before Sept. 6
• Fill out a registration form so officials can confirm vaccination status and send the gift card to an address.
• Parents and guardians will have to fill out the form for their children ages 12-17.
• Provide an email address and a physical address.

Be sure to make an appointment with a vaccine provider ahead of time. Here are the different spots where people in New Berlin can get vaccinated:

• CVS Pharmacy, 4798 Moorland Road
• Walgreens, 3855 Moorland Road
• Pick 'N Save, 15445 National Avenue
• Thrifty Drug Stores Inc, 2720 163rd Street
• Meijer, 801 Sunset Drive, Waukesha
