Hungry Jack’s and Deliveroo Are Gonna Sling Free Chippies When Each State Is 60 Per Cent Fully Vaxxed

Free Hungry Jack's for the hungry vaxxed.

In case the possibility of winning free flights for a year or a double pass to every stadium show in 2022 wasn’t enough incentive for ya to get jabbed, you’ll wanna keep your eyes open for this one.

That’s right, Hungry Jack’s have collaborated with Deliveroo to offer a whole lotta free fries to everyone once their state reaches a 60 per cent full COVID-19 vaccination rate. I ain’t turning my nose up at that.

Basically, once each state reaches 60 per cent double vaxxed, anyone who orders chippies from Hungry Jack’s on the weekend after they reach the milestone will get them free of charge.

While that might seem ages away, it’s actually way closer than you think. NSW is already at 53 per cent, so don’t hold your breath for too long!

Of course, 60 per cent doesn’t quite meet the vax rate that will reduce restrictions, so to avoid having everyone and their mum at Hungry Jack’s stores all over the country, Deliveroo will be doing God's work and sending the fried goods straight to our doors.

Deliveroo’s Head of Consumer Communications Joe Satari said the food delivery service recognised that a “successful vaccination rollout is crucial to get us back doing all the things we love”.

“We started this process to find a vaccination incentive for everyone along the journey to freedom,” he said in a statement.

“With the legends at Hungry Jack’s and heaps of local favourites we will show our gratitude with a tasty reward for all the Aussies out there, keeping each other, and those in our community, safe.

“We can’t wait to see which state is next to stride over that 60 per cent line.”

Hungry Jack's is also pumped about the vaccination initiative, saying that the campaign isn’t just an incentive, but also a way to celebrate progress.

“With Deliveroo, we have put into place a fun incentive to celebrate the progress everyone is making in getting the nation double vaxxed,” Hungry Jack’s Chief Marketing Officer Scott Baird said.

“The success of the vaccine rollout is something that is very close to all our hearts.

“We know Aussies love our fries and every little bit of encouragement helps when it comes to hitting the vaccination rates.”

Unfortunately, the NT will miss out on this one as Deliveroo isn’t available there, but maybe all the peeps up North can fry some chips at home in solidarity with the rest of Oz.

If you’re not yet vaxxed but want some chippies, check out the government’s resources on COVID-19 vaccines, chat with your GP, and book an appointment at your local vaccination clinic.

If you’re not sure about your eligibility just yet, you can find out and book in at a clinic here.
