Dating apps like Tinder and OKCupid will let users add 'I'm vaccinated' badges to profiles

Tinder, OKCupid, Hinge and other dating apps owned by Match Group are adding new features to users' profiles to encourage them to get a coronavirus vaccine. The Friday announcement is an effort to assist the White House in reaching its goal of getting 70 percent of US adults at least one vaccine jab by July 4. Those who say they have received a COVID-19 vaccination can add a badge to their profile that says'I'm Vaccinated' and will have access to premium content such as boost and super swipes. The apps are also adding filters so people can see who has been vaccinated as well as promotions and links to vaccine.gov to help individuals find vaccine locations.
