CHARLOTTE — You could win cash for getting creative about vaccines.
On Thursday, StarMed announced a challenge on Twitter.
“Give me your very best idea on how to get our entire city vaccinated. It doesn’t matter how crazy or off-the-wall,” the tweet read.
“Some of the ideas are fantastic,” said Mike Estramonte, CEO of StarMed Healthcare. “You know, putting free groceries for a month or getting your picture taken with (Channel 9 reporter) Joe Bruno or my favorite is pitting city against city -- Charlotte against Atlanta -- and see who can get the highest percentage of the population vaccinated.”
