Today’s Solutions: May 12, 2026

Krispy Kreme is hoping to boost Covid-19 vaccinations by making them a little sweeter. The doughnut chain has announced that anyone who presents a Covid-19 vaccination card at a US location is eligible for a free glazed doughnut from now until the end of the year.

Krispy Kreme chief marketing officer Dave Skena said, “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.”

This isn’t the first time the company has offered its sweet treats to raise morale during the pandemic. Back in May, they offered free doughnuts to all seniors graduating during the pandemic who had to miss out on commencement celebrations. Krispy Kreme is also offering all its employees four hours of extra paid time off to encourage them to get vaccinated. 

To claim your free doughnut, simply visit any franchise and present your vaccination card as proof of at least one dose.
