Just received an email from the DEC about a contest you can enter if you take your Coviv shot between Dec 1 & Dec 31 2021 you are eligible if you take a shot between those dates.
I sent an email to voice my opinion that it discriminates against others who have already have been vaccinated. I would suggest you do the same.
Here is a list of some of the prizes. that you WILL NOT be eligible for if you are already vaccinated. Are the prizes paid with licence fees? tax dollars?
