Durango Business Improvement District and San Juan Basin Public Health launched the “Our Shot Rewards” programs for people who have yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Any resident who receives their first dose of COVID-19 vaccination at a SJBPH clinic starting Wednesday, May 26, will receive an Our Shot Rewards coupon sheet.
The promotion has a total value of $80 and includes a collection of free items and discounts at local businesses. The offer is good while supplies last and the coupons expire Aug. 15.
Our Shot Rewards coupon sheets will be handed out at these clinics to residents receiving either Johnson & Johnson or their first dose of Pfizer vaccine:
- 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 26, at Fort Lewis College Student Life Center, 1000 Rim Drive. Johnson & Johnson vaccine from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Pfizer vaccine from 1 to 6 p.m. Appointments are available.
- 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 29, May 29 at FLC Student Life Center, 1000 Rim Drive. Johnson & Johnson vaccine from 10 a.m. to noon, Pfizer vaccine from noon to 3 p.m. Appointments are available.
“The business community has been tremendously supportive and resilient throughout the pandemic. SJBPH is excited to partner with BID on a vaccine promotion that will motivate more of the community to get their COVID vaccine,” said Liane Jollon, SJBPH executive director. “Getting vaccinated and increasing our collective immunity is the best way to support our local businesses and propel us forward on the road to recovery. We hope that people who have been putting off their vaccine will take advantage of this offer and protect themselves and their family right away.”
Tim Walsworth, Durango Business Improvement District executive director, said, “One of the things that makes our community so great is that our local businesses rally together and really care about our community.
“The Our Shot Rewards deals will help motivate more of the community to get vaccinated, which in turn helps our businesses and our local economy. Getting vaccinated is a win for everyone. It keeps you safe, keeps the community healthy and will help our businesses bounce back stronger than ever.”
These local businesses are participating in Our Shot Rewards and are providing free and discounted offers:
- Eolus Bar and Dining.

Minors must have a signed parental consent form, which can be completed online when registering or at the clinic.
Although advance registration is preferred, walk-ins are also welcome at upcoming clinics. The vaccine is free, and no ID is required.
