Customers who receive their COVID-19 vaccines at Walgreens, will now receive $25 in cash rewards through June 26. Kids 12-15 who get their vaccine can receive a $25 Walgreens gift card or have the reward added to their parent or guardian’s account.

4,000 Walgreens locations across the country will offer extended hours on Fridays during the month of June, for walk-in patients hoping to receive their shots. Several 24-hour pharmacies will also be offering the vaccine.

The promotion is one of many being launched to boost vaccination efforts. Shake Shack is offering up free fries and Krispy Kreme has already given away 1.5 million doughnuts to customers who present their vaccination card, showing they have received at least one COVID-19 shot.

Several states including Ohio and California have created lotteries, promising vaccinated residents chances to win millions of dollars.
