This week, Governor Walz launched the Kids Deserve a Shot campaign — a vaccine incentives program encouraging Minnesotans 12-17 years old to roll up their sleeves and get fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Help us get out the word on how Minnesota teens can get $200 Visa gift cards and a chance to win a $100,000 Minnesota college scholarship for getting fully vaccinated!

Getting as many people vaccinated as possible is critical to curbing the spread of COVID-19. Right now, only 50% of Minnesotans 12-15 and less than 60% of Minnesotans 16-17 are fully vaccinated — the lowest vaccination rates of all eligible age groups.

The Kids Deserve a Shot campaign rewards Minnesota teens for completing their vaccine series and building the broad community protection needed to keep our families, schools, and state safe.
