While the benefits of getting the COVID-19 vaccine are obvious, like protection against a life-threatening virus, many companies are offering promotions as an added incentive for people to get vaccinated. One of these companies is Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. As the United States continues to administer COVID-19 vaccinations, Krispy Kreme wanted to find ways to be “sweet.” One of these ways is to offer free doughnuts to people who are vaccinated.

The Krispy Kreme offer states, “To show our support for those who choose to get vaccinated, starting Monday, 3/22, anyone who shows their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card will receive a free Original Glazed doughnut.”

Customers qualify if they have received at least one of the two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine. To prove that they’ve been vaccinated customers needs to show their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card in order to redeem the COVID-19 Vaccine Offer. The COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card is a necessary requirement for the offer and a sticker stating the guest have received a COVID-19 vaccine is not valid for this promotion. Customers shouldn’t be concerned about the documentation or photography of their Vaccination Record Card as shops will not do that because it contains personal information.

“We all want to get COVID-19 behind us as fast as possible and we want to support everyone doing their part to make the country safe by getting vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available to them,” Chief Marketing Officer Dave Skena said in a statement.

This deal of a free doughnut for vaccinated individuals lasts for the rest of 2021. They can go back every single day and continue getting free doughnuts throughout the whole year. The offer is available all year to give people ample chance to get vaccinated and get rewarded, especially if the vaccine wasn’t open for them to get yet. It’s one free doughnut per day and only to the individual that has their Vaccination Record Card present. No purchase is required either.

While some individuals may choose to not receive the COVID-19 vaccine for personal reasons, Krispy Kreme still wants to include them in the fun.

In this altered offer, Krispy Kreme proposes, “We advise all employees and guests to consult with their healthcare provider regarding whether to obtain a COVID-19 vaccination and which vaccine to receive after reviewing the available information. If you have made the personal decision to not receive the COVID vaccine, please visit us on Mondays, 3/29/21 – 5/24/21, to receive a free Original Glazed doughnut and a medium brewed coffee to get your week off to a good start.”

It may not be the healthiest choice to eat a doughnut every day, but the added reward is just another way to make getting the COVID-19 vaccine even sweeter.
