New York City’s COVID-19 vaccine incentives, including a $100 prepaid debit card, are now available to children aged 5 to 11, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday.
“Good news! Kids are eligible for the $100 vaccine incentive. So we really want kids to take advantage, families take advantage of that,” de Blasio said at a press conference, which came two days after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officially recommended Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds.
