ROYAL OAK, Mich. (WXYZ) â A new Shots for Shots campaign is launching in Royal Oak to encourage more people to get vaccinated.
County, city, and local business leaders will hold a vaccination event on June 4 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Royal Oak Farmers Market.
Those who get vaccinated will receive $10 in Royal Oak Downtown Dollars that can be used at 70 Royal Oak downtown businesses.
The idea for the campaign was pitched by Sarah, a longtime server at the Rock on Third, to Dave Woodward, chairman of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. Then a plan came together. The Royal Oak Downtown Development Authority approved funding for the Royal Oak Downtown Dollars. An Oakland County vaccine partner, Mednext, has agreed to provide vaccinations.
