Gov. John Bel Edwards and the Louisiana Department of Health have announced a new $7.5 million vaccine incentive program for college students, the latest taxpayer-funded giveaway aimed at increasing the state’s COVID-19 vaccination rate.

Called “Shot For 100,” the initiative will award the first 75,000 college students $100 each if they are vaccinated at participating colleges and universities. All unvaccinated 18- to 29-year-old students are eligible, which Edwards said is one of the least vaccinated groups in the state.
