Community partners offering vaccine incentives

Posted online

Community Foundation of the Ozarks Inc., the Springfield-Greene County Health Department and Springfield Public Schools are partnering on a COVID-19 vaccine event with incentives for participants.

The Finish Strong 417 Winter Vaccine Events are being held, in part, to immunize children over 5 years old after the age group recently received clearance for low-dose vaccines, according to a news release. Boosters also will be available.

“It is incredibly good news that as we look ahead to winter break, all children and adults across our campuses will have the opportunity to develop immunity to COVID-19,” said Grenita Lathan, superintendent of SPS, in the release.

Vaccine events will be held Nov. 20 and Dec. 11 at Williams Elementary School and the Health Department's vaccination venue, the former Gordmans store on East Battlefield Road.

Each person who is getting their first or second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine will receive a $50 gift card from the Health Department, according to the release. Participants also will be entered into a drawing for $15,000 in prizes, such as video game consoles and season passes to Silver Dollar City.

The Health Department's COVID-19 dashboard indicates 52.5% of the eligible population is currently vaccinated in Greene County. The seven-day average of new daily cases is 41, with 42 people in Greene County hospitals with the virus.

Why? GOD Fauci just admitted the NON “vaccine” is a bust? WHY are you pushing something that does not prevent infection OR transmission? It has more side effects and deaths than ALL previous vaccines COMBINED! So again, why?

There has been way too many lies. Way to much censorship if doctors, including the inventor of the mRNA! Nope. Those experimental gene therapy drugs will not enter my body!

Speaking of lies, forgot to mention what we learned yesterday? Pfizer LIED about the number of people who died during the clinical trials. It wAs 40% higher than what they reported! No way anyone should shoot this crap in them over a 99.87% survival rate.
