Beginning Tuesday, adult Forsyth County residents become eligible for a $25 gift card for getting their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
The Forsyth Health Department said Friday it has 1,000 of the gift cards, which can be used anywhere a debit MasterCard is accepted.
People taking someone for their first shot are also offered the gift card, even if they already had their first dose. Drivers are eligible for a card for each person they take for a first dose.
The state Department of Health and Human Services said the $25 card for the driver âhelps offset the costs for those who help family, friends and neighbors find their spot for a vaccine and drive them to their shots.â

âIâve asked the General Assembly and weâre working on these things to help,ââ he said.
For many unemployed, finding affordable child care is a major obstacle to going back to work, Cooper said.
âLetâs invest in child care, and letâs increase the number of slots. Iâm willing to work with legislators, with federal, local, state. Weâre talking about potential employment bonuses ⦠weâre talking about potentially helping our hospitality industry, but youâre going to leave a lot of people hurting if you simply just cut it (the $300 supplement) off right now.ââ
