Major League Baseball announced Friday that it will offer incentives to unvaccinated fans through a program called “MLB Vaccinate At The Plate,” which will run throughout June.
Each of the 30 teams will host at least one event this month where unvaccinated fans will be able to receive a free ticket to a game if they receive a COVID-19 vaccine at the event.
Teams will have the flexibility to build the giveaway to their own specifications, including where the event takes place, when it takes place in June, and whether tickets are valid for that day’s game or a game later in the 2021 season.
The teams will also work with a local healthcare provider or national pharmacy provider to administer the injections and provide the necessary health and safety precautions on site.
Fans can find more information about each team’s program and events at MLB.com/vaccine.
The website will continue to be updated as teams finalize their plans throughout the month.
During the course of the pandemic, MLB ballparks have been used as mass vaccination sites, administering a total of more than 1 million injections.
