(ABC4) – As if one doughnut was not enough, Krispy Kreme is upping its free offering to those who get the COVID-19 vaccine. In March, Krispy Kreme became one of the first national chains to offer a freebie to Americans who received their vaccine, saying they could get an Original Glazed doughnut every day for the rest of the year.

Now, for a limited time, the deal is doubled.

“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,” Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme Chief Marketing Officer said in March. To get the free doughnut, customers just have to show their COVID-19 vaccine card.

Now, Krispy Kreme is offering everyone who has received the COVID-19 vaccine and shows their vaccination card two free doughnuts. These aren’t regular doughnuts either – while one will be the Original Glazed doughnut, the other is an Original Glazed Heart doughnut.

This double-deal is only available for a limited time – August 30 through September 9. For more information, visit Krispy Kreme.
