Minnesota’s COVID-19 vaccine incentive program has ended… and Gov. Tim Walz says nearly 80,000 Minnesotans signed up for a $100 reward after getting their first vaccine dose since July 30.
Officials say the program has helped drive-up Minnesota’s vaccination rate over the past month.
The seven-day average for first doses administered was 2,675 one month ago.
Currently, Minnesota is averaging 4,955 first doses daily.
Nearly 80 percent of incentive requests came from Minnesotans under the age of 50, whose vaccination rates trail those of older Minnesotans.
