Shake Shack Offers Free Fries with Burger Purchase for People Who Are Vaccinated

With so many avenues for misinformation these days, it’s no wonder that governments around the world have to come up with ways to incentivise vaccination.

One way to do this is to inform people about the benefits of vaccination, both for one’s loved ones and fellow residents.

But if that doesn’t work, you can always offer deep-fried potatoes.

Shake Shack Offers Free Fries with Burger Purchase for People Who Are Vaccinated

Not sure about getting vaccinated? Well, maybe a free packet of hot and crispy fries might change your mind.

That’s right, American fast-casual restaurant Shake Shack is offering free fries to those who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine!

The promotion aims to encourage more members of the public to get vaccinated, and if you’ve seen the lines at Shake Shack, this might just work.

All customers have to do to get their free Crinkle Cut fries is purchase a burger from 1 July to 15 July.

Those who want to make the redemption, first of all, have to get vaccinated. After which you’ll have to provide proof of your inoculation in the store.

This can be a physical vaccination card or the TraceTogether app.

Each vaccine recipient can only make one redemption at any of Shake Shack’s six outlets across the country.

The six outlets are located at:

  • Suntec City
  • Jewel Changi Airport
  • VivoCity
  • Orchard Road
  • 89 Neil Road
  • Great World

So, has this promotion changed your mind?

In Moscow, You Can Win a Free Car If You Take the COVID-19 Vaccine

Free fries aren’t bad, but it can’t compare to a brand new car.

Believe it or not, Moscow, the capital of Russia, is giving away free cars in a prize draw for residents who get a shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The city’s mayor noted how few residents have turned up to get vaccinated, which is likely why the prize draw was launched.

In fact, only 1.3 million out of a population of more than 12 million have received at least one dose, as of 21 May.

But with a promise of a new car, that figure could soon soar.

Now, anyone over 18 who has received the first of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine from 14 Jun until 11 Jul will be automatically entered into a draw to win a car.

Believe it or not, five cars worth 1 million roubles (around S$18,400) each will be given away every week.

If you’re hoping that Singapore does something similar, you’re probably forgetting about the COE.
