The incentives, along with radio ads, did bring many to the Grand Prairie Walmart to receive their first, second or booster shot. Pfizer vaccines for children five and older were also available.
With about 58% of the population fully vaccinated, Dallas County Health and Human Services acknowledges some are still hesitant.
"They say 'I can't get the vaccine, I can't afford to get it because I can't get sick afterwards and miss days from work' but it's very import for people to remember if you get COVID you're going to be out much longer than if you took your second dose and you might feel bad for a day," said Nieto.
