“Blue Cross Blue Shield pays your doctor a $40,000 bonus for fully vaccinating 100 patients under the age of 2,”

The claim: Blue Cross Blue Shield pays doctors bonuses based on the number of patients vaccinated
In an attempt to cast doubt on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, some online users are claiming pediatricians are paid a bonus by Blue Cross Blue Shield based on the percentage of patients they vaccinate.

“Blue Cross Blue Shield pays your doctor a $40,000 bonus for fully vaccinating 100 patients under the age of 2,” reads a Dec. 12, 2021, Instagram post that was shared by actress Cherie Johnson and accumulated more than 600 likes. “If your doctor manages to fully vaccinate 200 patients, that bonus jumps to $80,000.”

The post claims pediatricians lose the entire bonus unless at least 63% of patients are fully vaccinated, including the flu vaccine. It asserts, “This is why your doctor gets aggressive.”
