Get paid to get vaccinated? JCCC offering $250 to all employees to get COVID-19 shots – Shawnee Mission Post
Johnson County Community College is offering employees a one-time $250 payment to get the COVID-19 vaccine, as the college makes plans to open up campus more fully for in-person classes in the fall.
The announcement comes as vaccines become increasingly available in Johnson County and local health officials project all Johnson County adults who want one should be able to get a vaccine within the next month.
JCCC says employees will have priority access in April to vaccine clinics being operated by AdventHealth Shawnee Mission at Church of the Resurrection in Leawood.
The college is pushing to have more in-person classes and activities on campus this summer and fall after a year of hybrid and remote learning and wants as many staff members to be vaccinated as possible.
The JCCC Incident Response Team, a five-member committee responsible for monitoring and safeguarding college employees and students through the pandemic, says all full-time and part-time JCCC employees will be eligible for the $250 remuneration.
