Celebrity Chef Offers $50 Gift Cards As Vax Incentive

The DCist reports:

Local celebrity chef and humanitarian José Andrés is getting into the vaccine rewards game, and he’s offering more than a free donut or a free beer.

On Friday, Andrés tweeted that he would give $50 gift cards to his D.C.-area ThinkFoodGroup restaurants to anyone who shows proof of vaccination, starting Saturday. The giveaway will run “until we reach 70% of total population” vaccinated he said.

“We want everyone vaccinated!” Andrés tweeted. That 70% goal is a ways off. In D.C., about 36% of residents are partially or fully vaccinated. That figure is 46% in Virginia and close to 50% in Maryland.
