Free Pizza, Baseball Tickets, Other Perks Await Vaccinated People

MARYLAND — A host of perks await for those Marylanders who have received the COVID-19 vaccine, from free pizza to free tickets to a Baltimore Orioles game. GoVAX Rewards, an online tool, highlights the vaccine incentives being offered by businesses across the state.

“After Ledo Pizza offered free pizzas for vaccines, we had a great response, and more of our businesses have stepped up to help get more Marylanders vaccinated,” Gov. Hogan said. “By providing these rewards, our businesses are paying it forward and thanking our residents for doing their part to end the pandemic.”

A few of the offerings include:

Baltimore Orioles: The baseball program is offering the Johnson & Johnson dose at Dempsey’s Brew Pub & Restaurant. Those who take advantage of the on-site vaccination clinic will receive a voucher to redeem two complimentary lower level tickets for an upcoming game at Camden Yards.

National Aquarium: The aquarium is offering half-price tickets for general admission during "half-price Friday nights."

Medieval Times: Vaccinated individuals are given a 25 percent off discount on adult and children admission tickets, which includes dinner and a show.

Ayers Creek: Adventurers can receive 10 percent off kayak or paddle board rentals.

Total Recon Auto Center: The business is offering 10 percent off of any auto detailing package for vaccinated residents.

*Note that some businesses are requiring proof of vaccination in order to receive the incentive.

“If you are vaxxed up and ready to go, there are plenty of reward opportunities to take advantage of this summer thanks to Maryland’s business community,” Maryland Commerce Secretary Kelly M. Schulz said. “If you know someone interested in an incentive who still needs to get a vaccine, we encourage them to schedule an appointment online or use the platform to find a local pharmacy in their area.”
