Want a gift card? You can get one at these Hilton Head COVID vaccine clinics

Correction: This article has been updated to reflect that Tuesday and Wednesday’s vaccine clinics are organized by separate entities.

South Carolina’s Neighborhood Outreach Connection wants you to add a COVID-19 vaccine to your next grocery list.

The local organization is partnering with Beaufort Memorial Hospital and the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control to hold a vaccine clinic on Hilton Head Island Wednesday, with plans to give out $25 gift cards to the first 100 attendees.

The clinic will be held from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the St. Francis Thrift Store on 6 Southwood Park Dr.

“Both the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available, the Pfizer from Beaufort Memorial Hospital and the Johnson and Johnson from SCDHEC,” said Madeline Helser-Howard, the executive director of NOC.

Attendees do not have to preregister to get vaccinated, and 12- to 15-year-olds can get vaccinated with a signed consent form.

BusinessATTRACT and Sandalwood Pantry are hosting a separate vaccine clinic on Tuesday, offering the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines. That clinic will be held at 114 Beach City Road from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. All attendees will receive a $20 Walmart gift card, according to organizer the Rev. Dr. Nannette Pierson.

Carlton Dallas, the head of BusinessATTRACT, said that the organization is planning future vaccine clinics at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hilton Head and Bluffton, St. Stephen AME Church in Hardeeville and the Woodhaven apartment complex on Hilton Head.
