Published

The Shot for $100 Incentive Program rewards students enrolled in a Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ college, university, community or technical college, or a private institution for getting vaccinated on campus.

As of Monday, Aug. 16, the first 6,160 students at Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette to get their first or second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines on campus may receive a $100 bank card.

Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette’s COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination Clinic is open from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays in the Burke-Hawthorne Hall auditorium, 231 Hebrard Blvd. You can walk in and register on-site.

To participate in the Shot for $100 Incentive Program, you should do the following:

  1. Receive your first or second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at the Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette Testing and Vaccination Clinic.
  2. After receiving the vaccine, go to the $100 bank card table and show your vaccination card and Cajun Card.
  3. You will be given an envelope with the bank card in it and a unique 10-digit code. The bank card will not have any money on it until the Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Department of Health confirms your vaccination status. Do not lose your code. It is unique to you, and you must have it to register for the $100 incentive.

  5. The $100 will be transferred electronically to your bank card. This process may take 24-72 hours.

Students who will receive their second dose of the vaccine must adhere to the vaccine schedule – 21 days between doses of the Pfizer vaccine and 28 days between doses of the Moderna vaccine. Additionally, if you have a vaccination appointment scheduled with another provider and you want to participate in the incentive program, you should cancel that appointment.

Eligible students will receive $100 only once regardless of whether they receive two doses of the vaccine.
