Geary County commissioners have decided to offer employees an incentive for getting a COVID-19 shot. Trish Giordano, Commission Chair, said some other counties were taking this action. "So we thought it would be a good incentivization to have our employees vaccinated. "
Each employee that has been vaccinated and others that get vaccinated by the end of September will receive $100. Those funds will come from federal American Recovery Plan money received by the county. The goal is to get more employees vaccinated and keep COVID numbers down.
