Student Vaccine Incentive
-
With the safety and well-being of staff and students in mind, Dallas ISD is extending the one-time $50 vaccination incentive to students ages 5-11 who have received all the appropriate doses of the vaccine against COVID-19. The incentive will be distributed in the form of an ecard by email to the email the parent provides when submitting the student's proof of vaccination. To get the card, parents/guardians or students who are at least 18 should fill out the proof of vaccination form and submit a copy of the student's COVID vaccination card, IMMTrac2 print out or written confirmation from a medical provider by March 31.
The deadline for students ages 12 and older to participate was Nov. 15. Parents will be notified by campuses when the gift cards will be available.
Participation in the student vaccination incentive is entirely voluntary and based on the personal preferences of students and their families. The information provided will help the district determine how many students who are eligible have been fully vaccinated and facilitate the contact tracing and quarantine processes, which are different depending on vaccination status.
Once proof of vaccination is submitted, the forms will be processed, and parents and students will be notified when and where the cards will be available to be picked up.

I can’t find the vaccine card! How do I get proof that my child has been vaccinated?
First, try the doctor, hospital or location where you received your vaccination. Walgreens or CVS keep records of vaccines administered at their locations.
For those who received the vaccination at one of the mass vaccination clinics, the Texas Immunization Registry—run by the Texas Department of State Health Services—can provide a printout of the COVID vaccination record. To request a copy of immunization records for a person over 18 years of age, complete and submit (by fax or mail) an ImmTrac2 Adult Consent Form (F11-13366) and an Authorization to Release ImmTrac2 History Form (F11-11406).

What if my student has only received one shot?
Individuals 5-11 years of age must receive all the required doses of the vaccine. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which has emergency approval for children 5-11 years of age, requires two doses. If the student has only received one shot, you have until March 31 to get the second shot and obtain proof of vaccination to participate in the incentive card program.
-
Can I fill out just one form for all my children who have received both shots?
You will need to fill out a form and provide proof of vaccination for each of your children who has received both doses of the vaccine. The forms are connected to the student’s ID number and date of birth, so the information on the proof of vaccination must match the information for the student who has been assigned a student ID and date of birth.
-
What if I lose the card after I receive it? Will the district replace it?
The e-cards should be treated as cash and Dallas ISD is not responsible for replacing them if lost or stolen.
