Anyone 12 or older can enter the Mayor’s Vaccine Raffle, but someone 18 years or older must claim any prizes won by a minor.
The mayor on Wednesday urged eligible residents to sign up for the raffle and to get vaccinated if they haven’t done so yet.
“We are unfortunately seeing another increase in COVID-19 cases across the country as the Delta variant spreads,” Mayor Johnson said. “The COVID-19 vaccines remain our best weapons against this deadly and destructive virus. I am pleased that so many people have entered our raffle, but I want to encourage everyone to get the vaccine as soon as possible. There is no better incentive than saving each other’s lives and ending this awful pandemic.”
