As we prepare for the fall semester and our return to campus, vaccines will help us prevent the spread of COVID-19 while taking part in the in-person classes and events that are so vital to the Wayne State experience. While protecting the health of your friends and family is the best reason to get vaccinated, we are also offering an exciting new incentive program.

All members of the Wayne State community who upload a photo of their vaccine card now through Aug. 29 will be entered into drawings for a variety of prizes, including a grand prize of free tuition for students and a year of free parking for faculty and staff. Here are the details:

• Get vaccinated, either at the Campus Health Center or at your most convenient location. 
• Upload a photo of your vaccine card. 
• Prizes will be awarded weekly through August, with the grand prize drawing taking place Aug. 30.

Those who have already received their vaccine are also eligible to participate; you may enter once you’ve you had your first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or following your single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Students who participated in this spring’s vaccine incentive must resubmit their proof of vaccination. You only need to submit your information once to be eligible.
