McDonald's, County Team Up For Coronavirus Vaccinations In San Diego County

Press release from the San Diego County Government:

June 20, 2021

Yes! Now you can even get fries with that COVID-19 vaccination — at eight McDonald’s restaurants in San Diego County.

To help make it easier for people to get vaccinated, local McDonald’s franchises and the County of San Diego are teaming up to offer free shots at special one-day events starting Monday, June 21 at eight McDonald’s restaurants in Chula Vista, El Cajon, Escondido, National City, Oceanside, Ramona, San Diego and Vista.

To thank them for doing their part in building protection against the virus, everyone who receives a free shot will also get a coupon for one free McDonald’s menu item. Maybe a Big Mac? An Egg McMuffin? Or yes, even McDonald’s french fries!

In addition, everyone who receives a vaccination at the McDonald’s events will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a free pair of San Diego Padre tickets!

The one-day, pop-up clinics are open to the public, McDonald’s employees and their family members. No appointments are necessary, walk-ups are welcome. If you’d prefer to make an appointment, some of the sites are offering pre-registration.

The local McDonald’s events are just one of several incentive events the County and local businesses have created to make it easier — and more fun — to get vaccinated. McDonald’s is also working with the state of California to offer the vaccination incentives at more than 70 franchises statewide, including the eight San Diego restaurants.
