Eligible members can receive a $50 Target gift card for getting their COVID-19 vaccine
Scotts Valley, Calif., November 2, 2021– Central California Alliance for Health (the Alliance), the Medi-Cal managed health care plan for residents of Monterey, Merced and Santa Cruz counties, is offering an incentive for members who get their COVID-19 vaccine.
Alliance members who get a needed dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will receive a $50 Target gift card. This member reward is available for all members who get their first or second dose between Sept. 1, 2021 and Feb. 28, 2022. Eligible members can receive their gift card by mail or on-site at eligible provider and community-based vaccination clinics.
“It’s critically important that we vaccinate as many eligible people as we can in order to continue fighting the pandemic,” said Stephanie Sonnenshine, Alliance Chief Executive Officer. “Since our most vulnerable residents are at increased risk for contracting COVID-19, we must do all that we can to remove any barriers by ensuring these residents have all the facts and equitable access to these vaccines.”
There is no cost to get the vaccine, and everyone 12 years and older can get vaccinated. The Alliance is encouraging members to get their COVID-19 vaccine by scheduling an appointment at www.myturn.ca.gov, visiting a walk-in clinic, going to a pharmacy or calling their doctor to make an appointment. The Alliance has released a mass media campaign with the theme “Crush COVID” to inform their members about the incentive and encourage the public to get the facts about the importance of getting vaccinated.
The $50 Target gift card vaccine incentive is for Alliance members only. Details are available on the Alliance website at www.thealliance.health/crushcovid.
