MONTGOMERY, AL — With Alabama at the very bottom of the country in COVID-19 vaccinations, the Alabama Department of Public Health has launched a campaign to encourage vaccines. The ADPH announced a Tik Tok contest, open to people between the ages of 13 and 29. The ADPH said in a release that contestants should submit a TikTok video showing themselves getting vaccinated or include a creative message explaining, "This is why I got vaccinated." The TikTok videos can be submitted between July 16 and August 6, and winners will be determined based on creativity, originality and number of likes and shares. All videos must tag @alcovidvaccine, #getvaccinatedAL and #ADPH. A panel of judges composed of advertising professionals and ADPH personnel will select four winners who will each be awarded a $250 Visa gift card. Winners will be announced August 13 via the @alcovidvaccine TikTok account, and promoted on ADPH social media.
