Thanks to the generous support of local businesses, the Durango Business Improvement District (BID) and San Juan Basin Public Health (SJBPH) are announcing “Our Shot Rewards” for individuals who have yet to receive the COVID vaccine. Any resident who receives their first dose of COVID vaccination at a SJBPH clinic starting Wednesday, May 26, will receive an Our Shot Rewards coupon sheet. The promotion has a total value of $80 and includes a collection of free items and discounts at local businesses. The offer is good while supplies last and the coupons expire August 15, 2021. 

Our Shot Rewards coupon sheets will be handed out at the following clinics and will be available to residents receiving either Johnson & Johnson or their first dose of Pfizer vaccine:

 “The business community has been tremendously supportive and resilient throughout the pandemic. SJBPH is excited to partner with BID on a vaccine promotion that will motivate more of the community to get their COVID vaccine,” said Liane Jollon, SJBPH Executive Director. “Getting vaccinated and increasing our collective immunity is the best way to support our local businesses and propel us forward on the road to recovery. We hope that people who have been putting off their vaccine will take advantage of this offer and protect themselves and their family right away,” Jollon added. 

“One of the things that makes our community so great is that our local businesses rally together and really care about our community. The Our Shot Rewards deals will help motivate more of the community to get vaccinated, which in turn helps our businesses and our local economy. Getting vaccinated is a win for everyone. It keeps you safe, keeps the community healthy, and will help our businesses bounce back stronger than ever,” said Tim Walsworth, Durango Business Improvement District Executive Director.
