Staples is joining various retailers in providing incentives for individuals who have received the COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccination card you receive after getting vaccinated is a crucial document, second only to your identification and Social Security card. Given that vaccinated individuals will likely need to present this card for various purposes in the near future, it makes sense to keep it protected. That’s where Staples comes in.
For a limited time, Staples is offering complimentary lamination for your COVID-19 vaccine card. This will help ensure your card is safeguarded against damage such as wear and tear or accidental spills. To take advantage of this offer, simply visit your local Staples location and present your card (after you’ve completed your vaccination doses). A Staples representative confirmed that this promotion is available at all locations until May 1, with one free lamination per customer.
In addition to Staples’ initiative, Krispy Kreme recently announced a promotion of its own. Individuals who can show proof of vaccination with their card can enjoy a free Original Glazed donut from participating stores every single day throughout 2021. It’s a small reward for those who have navigated an entire year of a global health crisis. Krispy Kreme is also supporting its employees by providing paid time off for vaccinations.
Other companies are stepping up as well. Uber and Lyft are offering complimentary rides to vaccination sites, while supermarket chain Publix is giving $125 gift cards to over 225,000 employees who get vaccinated. Major employers like Tyson Foods and McDonald’s are also providing paid time off to encourage their workforce to receive the shots.
While some may worry about laminating their cards due to potential future booster shots or the heat from the lamination process damaging the card, a solution is to make a photocopy of your card and laminate that instead.
