Dallas Independent School District has expanded its school vaccine incentive to students age 5 – 11.
A similar program for students 12 and older had a November 15 deadline.
School Vaccine Incentive Update
The new program move follows an earlier program that paid students age 12 – 17 for proof of vaccination status.
Per a Dallas schools website, high demand for the $50 incentive, paid through gift cards, along with shipping delays during the holiday season have created an unforeseen delay in the distribution of the vaccine incentive gift cards.
Those students who submitted documentation by the November 15 deadline will still get their incentive.
