Dating apps to showcase those who are vaccinated

-

The White House is pushing a new reason to swipe right: vaccinatio­n badges and “super swipes” for people who’ve gotten their coronaviru­s shots.

The Biden administra­tion said Friday it’s teaming up with dating apps to showcase the benefits of getting a shot.

Apps like Hinge, Tinder, Match and Bumble are offering special incentives to people who roll up their sleeves, including badges showing vaccinatio­n status and free access to premium content.

BLK and Chispa will boost profiles of those who are vaccinated, to make them more visible to potential matches. And Okcupid will even let users filter out potential partners based on whether they’ve gotten a vaccine.
