All vaccinated West Virginians ages 16-35 can now register to receive $100 savings bond or $100 gift card

CHARLESTON — During Thursday’s briefing, Gov. Justice announced that online registration is now open for his “Beat 588…Bad” West Virginia Strong Vaccine Incentive Program.

All West Virginians ages 16-35 who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are now able to register online to receive either a $100 savings bond or a $100 gift card.

The $100 incentive is retroactive, meaning all West Virginians ages 16-35 who have received the COVID-19 vaccine at any point are eligible.

“Please go and register for your $100,” Gov. Justice said. “We really appreciate you getting vaccinated. Not only are you picking up a few extra bucks here, but you may very well have saved your life or saved others.

“We’re going to continue with this program,” Gov. Justice continued. “We want all 16-35-year-olds to get vaccinated as soon as possible.”
