BACKGROUND:

The Vaccination Incentive Program was developed by a sub-group of the Academic Response Team and endorsed by President Posey and the College Executive Team.

A total of 1,575 students participated in the Fall Vaccination Incentive Program, and 80 students received their first COVID-19 vaccination as a result of the program.

The goal of the program is to provide a safe campus experience for everyone, by celebrating Cincinnati State students who are vaccinated and encouraging other students to get COVID-19 vaccinations and booster shots.
