Perks you can get with your COVID vaccine card

The COVID vaccine card may as well be your new best friend.

Aside from the fact that it lets everyone know you are “COVID safe,” the card has some pretty cool perks. It’s almost enough to tempt me to get the vaccine myself! (Not really)

But if you’ve gotten the jab, you should know many national businesses are using the vaccine as a way to bring in more customers, and it’s pretty genius. Most of these offers are in NYC, but this won’t stop us New Jerseyans from hopping on these deals.

Now I won’t keep you waiting any longer, so here’s what you can get for free with your COVID Card.

A mini cheesecake
The first thing you can get with your COVID card is a mini cheesecake from Juniors. This offer is running until May 31st, so if you love cheesecake you’ll have to take advantage of this offer.
A free donut every day for the rest of the year
Next up, a deal you are all familiar with, but I’ll remind you in case you forgot. Bring your COVID card to Krispy Kreme and receive a free donut every day for the rest of this year. This is a pretty sweet deal as there is truly nothing better than a Krispy Kreme Donut.
Cake on a stick
If you like fast food, head over to White Castle with your COVID Card to get a free cake on a stick for dessert. If you’ve been to White Castle before, you know how good of an offer this is, and the best part is it runs till May 31st.
Free French fries
Up next we have everyone's favorite burger joint, Shake Shake offering free fries with any purchase of a burger or sandwich now through June 12th at New York locations. These fries are crinkly, salty, and can now be eaten for free.
A free hot dog
Save room the day of the vaccine because Nathan’s is giving out free dogs on the same day you received the vaccine. This is the perfect way to celebrate being vaccinated, and is a delicious meal.

These NJ towns have the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases

Looking at data compiled by the Department of Health in 2019, the most recent year for which reports are available, we determined the rate of STDs for 1,000 people in every municipality. The data combines reports of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. For a different look, you can check out this article for a list of New Jersey towns that saw the highest increase in STD/STI cases in recent years.
