For the next four days, Walgreens is offering $25 in cash rewards for those getting vaccinated at one of their pharmacies. The $25 can come as Walgreens Cash or a gift card.

From June 22 to 26, anyone who gets a COVID-19 vaccine at Walgreens can receive a gift card. For those with a myWalgreens account, the Walgreens Cash will be available immediately following their vaccination. Those without a myWalgreens account can opt in to receive a gift card following their vaccination. Parents or guardians of those aged 12-15 can redeem the Walgreens Cash or gift card on their behalf, Walgreens officials said in a release.
