Governor Phil Murphy has announced a series of new incentives to encourage people to get vaccinated.
People who are at least 21 years old and get their first dose in May will be eligible to receive a free glass of wine at a participating winery. Those who have been vaccinated can also get a free pass to state parks.
“We are determined to reach our vaccination goals and make this the best Jersey summer yet,” Governor Murphy said in a statement.
People who have been vaccinated can also enter a lottery to win dinner with Governor Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy. The winner can bring along a guest and will have the choice of dinner at Drumthwacket or the governor’s residence in Island Beach State Park.
Unless I’m missing something, pretty much everybody in New Jersey who has had the desire to be vaccinated has done so.
Yes, of course, there could be a few stragglers. Or people who were out of town, couldn’t find a place to get it, or just plain can’t make a decision about whether or not to get the jab. But I can’t, for the very life of me, imagine that anyone would be inspired to get vaccinated so that they can have a chance to have dinner with Governor and First Lady Tammy Murphy.
Yet, that opportunity is exactly what is up for grabs, according to a new scheme to try to get the vaccination numbers up in the state.
There have been lots of incentives flying around to help sway people to get vaccinated and this is the latest! Now we're talking my language.FREE vino but that's not all! Not only can you get a free glass of wine from a local winery, but you can also get a free pass to all 51 state parks including the beautiful Island Beach State Park! On top of that, you can also be registered to win a dinner with the governor and first lady at Drumthwacket, the governor’s mansion, or at the governor’s beach house at IBSP!
