The Coastal Health District and McIntosh County Health Department are offering $50 Visa Gift Cards during a COVID-19 vaccination event on Dec. 7, 2021, in Townsend. The event will feature the single-dose Janssen vaccine by Johnson & Johnson, and gift cards will be given to the first 85 people to receive their first COVID vaccine. Booster vaccinations do not qualify for the gift cards.
“More than half of the residents of McIntosh County are still unvaccinated,” said Brooke Deverger, Nurse Manager of the McIntosh County Health Department. “We hope the gift cards will encourage people to get the vaccine, especially as we head into this season of family get-togethers and holiday travel.”
The appointment-only vaccination event will be held Thursday, Dec. 7th from 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the McIntosh County Health Department, 1335 GA Highway 57 in Townsend. The giveaway is not retroactive and only applies to first doses. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is approved for anyone age 18 and older.
Appointments are required and can be scheduled at chdcovidvax.org by choosing the McIntosh County Health Department scheduling link under “Special Events.” Appointments can also be scheduled by calling 912-230-5506 Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
