The Oneida Nation is offering cash to get tribal members vaccinated.
The tribe yesterday said it is offering 500-dollar sweeteners to anyone 14 and older who gets a shot. Just under 30-thousand tribal members in the state have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, which is about 37-percent of Wisconsin’s native population. Oneida’s health director, Debbie Danforth, says people have to get both doses of the vaccine in order to qualify for the 500 dollars.
