CVS Health on Tuesday announced a new sweepstakes to encourage customers to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations and to thank those that already have received their vaccines.
The #OneStepCloser sweepstakes gives CVS Health customers a chance to win one of more than 1,000 prizes through weekly drawings and grand prizes over a period of six weeks.
The sweepstakes opens today, CVS said.
“We're grateful for the millions of people who’ve received one of the well over 17 million doses we’ve administered at CVS Health, but we have a long way to go,” said Dr. Kyu Rhee, Senior Vice President and a Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health. “Getting as much of the population fully vaccinated will bring us one step closer to all the things we’ve missed during the past 14 months, and keep our country moving in the right direction.”
According to the most recent CDC household pulse survey COVID-19 vaccination tracker, 17.6% of adults 18 years and over are hesitant about receiving a vaccine.
CVS Health is working to close gaps in hesitancy, and through the #OneStepCloser sweepstakes, provide a positive reminder of the activities that are possible once vaccinated, the company said.
