CVS sweepstakes announced to encourage vaccinations

CVS Health announced that beginning June 1, eligible customers 18 and up who received or certify that they’ve registered to receive the COVID-19 vaccine through CVS Health either at a CVS Pharmacy retail location, CVS Health at a long-term care facility, employer-based Return Ready clinic or other off-site clinic may choose to enter the #OneStepCloser sweepstakes for an opportunity to win one of over a thousand prizes through weekly drawings and grand prizes. CVS colleagues who meet the requirements are also eligible to enter.

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 the gaps in hesitancy, and through the #OneStepCloser sweepstakes, provide a positive reminder of the activities that are possible once vaccinated.

“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.”

Among the partners and prizes are $500 giveaways and $5,000 grand prize giveaways presented by CVS Health, a 7-night cruise for two to a destination of your choice presented by Norwegian Cruise Line, and a VIP trip to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles for two people including Super Bowl game tickets, airfare, hotel, and more, among many other prizes.
