Krispy Kreme has given 1.5M free doughnuts to vaccinated Americans

Krispy Kreme will give vaccinated Americans two free doughnuts on Friday for National Doughnut Day

Vaccinated Americans seem to really be enjoying Krispy Kreme’s doughnut giveaway.

On Tuesday, the chain announced that since it launched the giveaway on March 22, it has given away more than 1.5 million doughnuts to vaccinated Americans.

In a statement provided to Fox News, Krispy Kreme CMO Dave Skena said the doughnut giveaway is all about getting more Americans vaccinated.

"We were the first national brand to launch a campaign to show support for Americans choosing to get vaccinated, and we were hopeful that others would join us," Skena said. "With more and more people getting vaccinated and our offer being good through the end of the year, we’re clearly on our way to giving away many millions of doughnuts as the country mobilizes to get this pandemic behind us as soon as possible. That makes us very happy!"

However, the company isn’t stopping at 1.5 million doughnuts. For National Doughnut Day on Friday, June 4, Krispy Kreme will be giving vaccinated fans the chance to get two free doughnuts at one time, according to Tuesday’s announcement

People who want two free doughnuts on Friday just have to have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and have to show their vaccine card at their local Krispy Kreme shop. 

Unvaccinated fans will also be able to get a free doughnut on Friday, but they’ll only be able to get one.
