Four notes:
- New York City worked with community-based organizations and NYC Health + Hospitals, the city’s public health system, to encourage getting vaccinated by awarding $100 for each referral that leads to someone getting their first COVID-19 dose at a city-run site, according to a Sept. 14 news release.
- Through a partnership between the health system and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the NYC Test & Trace Corps helps the city to isolate New Yorkers who are positive for COVID-19. It provides several resources, such as hotel rooms for those with COVID-19 who are unable to safely quarantine in their own homes.
- The program launched at the end of June. There are 890 organizations that have participated in the referral program, including 34 organizations that have reached the $20,000 cap on available bonuses.
- The referral program is continuing to work with small businesses, faith organizations, community groups and more to provide up to $4 million in referral payments.
