Dear Colleagues,

As our Chief Medical Officer, Antonio Tataranni, recently announced, we are making progress in vaccinating the U.S. population against COVID-19. However, with the rise of the much more contagious Delta variant, it is now more critical than ever for all Americans to get the vaccine. To encourage as many of you as possible to get vaccinated, we will be running a sweepstakes and giving you a few chances to win $5,000.

Here’s what you need to know:

To be entered, you must get the COVID-19 vaccine and enter your vaccination status in the vaccine tracker*. Note you must be fully vaccinated, which means you have received two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or one shot of the J&J vaccine. Once you complete these steps, your name will be automatically entered into the drawing—there’s no other action needed. If you are already fully vaccinated and have entered your status in the vaccine tracker, you are all set.

There will be four separate drawings to give you time to make appointments and receive final shots.

Drawing dates are August 16, August 30, September 15 and September 30. We will randomly select three names per drawing for a total of 12 winners. You must have your vaccination status entered into the tracker by 11:59pm Eastern the day before the drawing to be eligible.

If your name is selected, you will be required to provide proof of your vaccinated status before receiving the $5,000.

The $5,000 will be paid through payroll and will be subject to appropriate taxes and withholdings. This amount will not be bonus-eligible or considered pensionable earnings.

Executives in Leadership Group 4 and above are not eligible to participate in the sweepstakes.

No matter where you are in the U.S., it’s never been easier to book a vaccine appointment. Simply visit our Castlight Vaccine Finder if you need help finding a vaccination site or want to learn more. If you still have questions on the vaccine, mask wearing at our sites, or anything else related to COVID-19, be sure to visit our COVID-19 Hub.

Please continue to take care of yourselves and thank you for all you do to keep each other safe.
