In an effort to reach the state vaccination goal of 60 percent of eligible New Mexicans vaccinated by June 17, the New Mexico Department of Health is offering a $100 incentive for those who have not yet received their second shot, or in the case of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, for those who have not yet received their single shot.

New Mexicans can schedule appointments online.

The NMDOH has set up a way to schedule the second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine by June 17 , or the Johnson and Johnson vaccine by that same date.

For people needing their first vaccine, either Pfizer of Moderna, they can make appointments as well. But will not be eligible for the incentive.

To be eligible to receive the $100 incentive, New Mexicans must provide proof of residency, such as an identification card, pay stub or utility bill.

Those receiving a second shot, must provide a CDC vaccine card or other proof of vaccination showing they received their primary shot.

The incentive will be made available on-site or by mail.

Those New Mexicans under 18 years old, must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to qualify for the $100.

Recipients of the incentive are solely responsible for any taxes.
