Newport News Shipbuilding recently concluded a series of raffles to benefit fully vaccinated shipbuilders, awarding three reserved Zone A parking spaces and cash prizes totaling $50,000.

The winner of the final raffle – for a reserved parking space in Zone A – was Johnathan Walker (E06). Parking space reservations will be good for one year.

NNS launched a series of monetary and parking raffles on Oct. 1 as an incentive for shipbuilders to get vaccinated against COVID-19. To date, 77% of the workforce is fully vaccinated against the virus. The NNS Vaccination Site at the Old Apprentice School gym (Bldg. 601) will continue to offer first, second and booster shots of the Pfizer brand through Dec. 22

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred. To schedule a time, go to myquadmed.com/hii-nns/COVID-vaccine.
