Delaware joins list of states offering vaccine incentives

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware is joining the list of states offering cash and other incentives to entice both children and adults to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Officials said Tuesday that Delawareans 12 and older who are vaccinated between now until June 29 will be entered to win $5,000 in cash and other prizes in twice-weekly drawings. The eligibility extends to all children between ages 12 and 17 who have already received the vaccine.

Other prizes include a vacation, a college scholarship and tickets to a music festival and baseball games.

State officials also will reimburse small businesses that offer vaccine incentives to customers.
