Just take your vaccination card to them.

Wimpy restaurants all over the country have decided to reward those who have gotten their COVID-19 vaccination. They are giving everyone that has received their jabs a free coffee! All you need to do is visit your nearest Wimpy and show them your vaccination card.

In a statement, the popular franchise has said that it “is hoping to create enthusiasm to curb the virus”. Those looking to claim their free cuppa must do so within 48 hours of getting their jab and cannot substitute the drink for another option.

The campaign is called “Say YAAAS to the future” and all 450 Wimpy branches across South Africa are partaking. Other brands in the country have not yet taken such a public pro-vaccination stance, but in the UK and in parts of the USA, companies have started with the same kind of campaigns where people get rewards for getting inoculated. 

Previously, Wimpy has given people free coffee for major public events that they took part in. For instance, in 2019. They gave everyone that voted in the elections a free coffee too. 

“We respect that everyone has the right and freedom to decide whether or not to get vaccinated, but we are rewarding those who are taking a stand in combating the Covid-19 pandemic,” said the company’s marketing executive Jacques Cronje.

Wimpy has said that it is excited to be the first local brand to start a vaccine campaign like this and it hopes to see other companies follow in its tracks.
