More Than 142,000 Individuals Receive First Dose During
Vaccine Reward Program

 DHS encourages Wisconsinites who received their first vaccine dose between
August 20 and September 19 to claim their $100 reward by September 30

Since the launch of the $100 COVID-19 Vaccine Reward Program, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) announced more than 142,400 Wisconsinites have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Eligibility to earn the vaccine reward for receiving the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine has now closed. However, Wisconsinites 12 and older who received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine between August 20 and September 19 from a vaccine provider in Wisconsin, Michigan, or Minnesota still have time to submit their information by September 30, 2021, to claim their $100 reward.

"I want to thank the Wisconsinites who have stepped up to protect themselves, their community, and our state in the battle against COVID-19 and the Delta variant," said Gov. Evers. "Whether you got vaccinated in March or just this month, every shot in an arm is bringing us one step closer to putting this pandemic behind us and ensuring our state's continued economic recovery."

In order to receive the $100 reward, eligible Wisconsin residents will need to fill out the form available at 100.wisconsin.gov or call 844-684-1064 to register over the phone. Information submitted will be used to verify that individuals have a valid first COVID-19 vaccine dose reported to the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR) between August 20 and September 19. DHS is working with vaccinators to validate the submissions for the reward program. Rewards cards will be mailed to the individual's Wisconsin address and may take six to eight weeks to be mailed to participants. Proof of insurance, I.D., or citizenship are not required to get vaccinated or to be eligible for the reward program.
