‘Shots for Swag’ campaign revs up

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — Teton County Health Department today launched a Hole Community Vaccination Campaign called Shots for Swag. The goal of the campaign is for 80 percent of the community to be vaccinated against COVID-19 with at least the first dose of the vaccine by the week of July 26.

Even as Teton County leads the way for vaccinations in Wyoming, the state, as a whole, is at or near the bottom of the pack when it comes to statewide vaccinations.

There are still many in our community who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 either due to age or a medical reason, county health officials say.

Teton Health director Jodie Pond stated, “We are so grateful to our business community for donating amazing prizes for our campaign. We want people to get back to the activities that they love while protecting their friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors by being vaccinated against COVID-19. We hope many in our community will get vaccinated and sign up for a chance to win great prizes.”

Anyone who living or working in Teton County, Wyoming who has received at least their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine can enter. The campaign will have six weekly drawings beginning the week of June 14, ending with a grand prize drawing the week of July 26.

Weekly prizes include gift cards to restaurants, retail stores, and local services, shirts, hats, outerwear, home accessories, horseback riding, raft trips, and one large weekly prize donated from local businesses.

Grand Prizes include: golf for two people at Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club, a Via Ferrata for four people at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, a half day Snake River Guided Fishing Trip from Fish on the Fly, a climbing trip for two people from Exum Mountain Guides, a scenic river float for up to four people from JH Vintage Adventures, a one night stay at Hotel Terra, a Suite of Advance Healthcare Directives from Carlman Legal Services, and a private wildlife expedition for up to nine people from Teton Science Schools.
