Your Shot to Get Outdoors!
Maine’s COVID-19 Vaccine Incentive Program
The State of Maine has launched an outdoor-centered incentive program aimed at encouraging Maine people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 before the summer season begins.

Effective immediately through May 31, 2021, any Maine resident age 18 and older who gets their first shot of a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine in Maine will qualify to receive one of the rewards below.
Fill out the form or call 1-888-445-4111 for assistance in claiming your reward.
