Krispy Kreme offers free doughnuts for those who get vaccinated for covid
It sounds like a sweet deal.
Krispy Kreme is offering anyone who gets the covid-19 shot a free glazed doughnut for the remainder of the year.
Starting on Monday, those who can show proof of a valid vaccination card are eligible for a doughnut at stores nationwide. The offer is only valid in-person in a shop or drive-thru. It’s not available for online orders or delivery.
We'd like to show sweet support to those who have received the COVID-19 Vaccine. Starting today, bring your Vaccine Card to a Krispy Kreme shop and get 1 FREE Original Glazed doughnut. No chance to get your Vaccine? This will run thru end of 2021. Info at https://t.co/gWnWhXOKKq pic.twitter.com/UqmDLne5E9

“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,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme chief marketing officer.
Those who decide not to get the vaccine can get a free glazed doughnut and a medium coffee on Mondays from March 29 to May 24.

If a free glazed donut can serve as the extra incentive for someone to get their vaccine and save lives, that's really good, actually. Don't overthink this. Krispy Kreme is doing a good thing.
