CVS's #OneStepCloser sweepstakes, which began June 1st, will enter anyone who receives a COVID-19 vaccine at one of their pharmacies over the next six weeks to win all sorts of prizes and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

You could reportedly find yourself on a seven-day cruise to Bermuda, spending a couple nights in a nice hotel, Patch.com reports, or even a guest at next February's Super Bowl.

And the CVS COVID vaccine incentives don't stop there. Five winners will reportedly score $5000 cash; 125 winners, $500.

CVS' goal is to minimize vaccine hesitancy, in light of new CDC research that shows about 18 percent of Americans are still holding out.

Wow. I hope if you were still looking for a reason to get your COVID-19 vaccine that you take advantage of some of the incentives going around. I mean, some states are even doing lotteries for big money! I guess I should have waited? I mean, I didn't even get a STICKER! NOT EVEN A STICKER! Some people got buttons, some are getting free beer, some are getting free event tickets. What's a girl gotta do to get a sticker around here?
