FAMU has launched a campaign to encourage students, faculty and employees to get vaccinated for COVID-19 by offering up to $1 million in prizes.
Any employee or student who gets one of the three available vaccines, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna or Pfizer, beginning July 19 becomes eligible to be entered into a drawing to win one of several prizes: $100 (Johnson & Johnson); $100 first dose of Pfizer or Moderna series; $100 second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine series; $50 gift card; a laptop; and iPad.
The University plans conduct weekly prize drawings from July through the end of December.
To participate, students and employees must enter their information into an online drawing portal. The first drawing will be held starting the week of July 26.
