Those chosen in Friday drawings this month will receive a five-ticket family pack to Six Flags Great America Theme Park.

Six Flags Great America in Gurnee will be open longer this season than it ever has been before.

Kids age 12 to 17 who get a COVID-19 vaccine this month through the Kendall County Health Department will be entered in a 5-ticket family pack to Six Flags Great America Theme Park, the health department has announced.

Those that receive a Pfizer vaccine at the health department’s clinics starting Thursday, July 8 will receive a raffle ticket for the drawings. Every Friday, the health department will pull five tickets for the raffle, with each winner receiving a family pack to the Six Flags location in Gurnee.

“Minors under the age of 18 must bring a legal parent/guardian, sign a Pfizer consent form prior to receiving the COVID vaccine, and bring proof of birth (Including: birth certificate, passport, state ID, driver’s permit, medical records, etc) to the appointment,” the health department said in a press release.
