LSU has done, and now students at the University of Louisiana Lafayette will be able to win prizes for vaccinating against COVID according to UL Lafayette President Dr. Joseph Savoie.

He says they have worked out a plan to incentivize students who have not received the vaccine to get the show. Their new program is called, "Don't Wait. Vaccinate!"

Savoie wants students to know the following,

Vaccines are free, they are safe, and they are the best shot we have to end the pandemic. If you haven't been vaccinated, we hope the University's Incentives program encourages you to do so. If you have, thank you, and please consider talking to your family and friends who haven't and urge them to follow your lead.

 

Who Is Paying For This Program?

It's been put on by the Wellness Center Fund which is a fund that is managed by the UL Lafayette Foundation.
