 You've got to be kidding me!  I thought both Walmart and Khol's incentives for getting vaccinated was bad enough-the parents received gift cards, but ipods, laptops?  Here's a bit from the school article.

"NOW…about the contest… 

To be eligible for the contest, a student will need to receive at least one vaccine, meningococcal vaccine, between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11. The student will need to take proof of the meningococcal vaccine received to the school nurse by 10:00 AM on 6-1-11.  The school nurse will then enter the student in the contest.  The student will have 2 entries for having received the meningococcal vaccine.

Additionally, if the student receives a Tdap and/or a HPV vaccine between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11, he/she would receive one entry for each when the record is provided to the school nurse.  A student receiving all 3 vaccines would be entered 4 times.  

Again, to enter, the student will need to provide the school nurse with a record of vaccines received between 4-1-11 and 5-31-11and one of those vaccines must be meningococcal vaccine.  Records of vaccines received are due to the school nurse by 10:00 AM on June 1, 2011.  Later that day a school system administrator will select 3 winners:
•   A fifth grade winner of an ipod
•   A middle school winner of an ipod
•   A high school winner of a laptop
Parent(s) of each winning student will be notified.  "
