From Saturday, Nov. 13, until Nov. 25, any adult who brings someone to a Family Vaccination Site for their first dose will receive a $25 prepaid Mastercard to offset the time and transportation costs of getting vaccinated.

Vaccinating more family members against COVID-19 is possible now that the FDA authorized and the CDC recommended a lower-dose Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. Children are vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus, and the vaccine provides a safe, tested way to help keep them healthy.

Sites are located in the following counties: Buncombe, Burke, Forsyth, Lenoir, Pasquotank, Robeson, Sampson, Vance and Wilson. A full list of participating sites with operating days and hours can be found here. No appointments are necessary, and all vaccines are free, regardless of insurance or vaccination status.
