December 10, 11 & 12
As the year comes to a close, Gwinnett County, working with groups across the community, encourages its residents to finish 2021 strong with a COVID-19 vaccine or booster. The County is offering $100 Visa gift cards, while supplies last, to people ages 5 and up who receive a COVID-19 vaccine at the Finish Strong Together community-wide vaccine incentive event this weekend. The Finish Strong Together partners include the Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments, Piedmont Eastside, Emergent Testing and COVID Care Georgia.
From Friday, December 10 to Sunday, December 12, Finish Strong Together partners will host vaccine clinics throughout the Gwinnett community. With a variety of locations and available hours, a dedicated website has been created for the event. Visit FinishStrongTogether.com for specific location, hours and appointment information. Appointments are strongly encouraged.
Vaccines are free. ID and insurance cards are not required but encouraged. People without insurance or ID will not be turned away. People should also bring their CDC vaccination card if they’ve already received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
“Whether it’s a first shot, second dose or booster, for adults or children, we want to make sure all of our residents have the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine,” said Dr. Audrey Arona, district health director for Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments. “We have worked with partners across this community to ensure that there are vaccine locations close to where our residents live, work and shop and that there are extended hours to remove barriers to getting the much-needed vaccine.”
Any Gwinnett resident who gets a vaccine at one of the participating locations will receive a $100 gift card while supplies last. The County is using federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act to pay for the vaccine incentive gift cards.
“We are pleased to be a part of this community-wide event and to provide an extra push with the incentive of holiday spending money at the end of the year to ensure we reach all of our residents,” said Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson. “It is so important to our community that we are diligent and finish 2021 strong together by encouraging our family, friends and neighbors to get vaccinated this weekend.”
