SECAUCUS, N.J. — The Vitamin Shoppe announced that it is offering a free healthy snack or beverage to anyone with a documented COVID-19 vaccine shot, in partnership with the White House on its large-scale effort to incentivize vaccinations among Americans.

From May 4 to 31, The Vitamin Shoppe will give away one free, full-size healthy snack or drink product to any customer who shows their official COVID-19 Vaccination Record in any of our stores. Eligible products include any brand and any flavor from The Vitamin Shoppe’s premium assortment of on-the-go protein bars, energy drinks, healthy snacks, or cookies, including customer favorites from Quest, ZOA, Alani Nu, CELSIUS, Outright, ONE, fitfactor™, BodyTech® Elite, plnt, and many other popular brands.

This offer is valid at more than 715 locations of The Vitamin Shoppe and Super Supplements. Participants are asked to show their original Covid-19 Vaccination Record documenting at least one administered COVID-19 vaccine shot. No purchase is necessary to receive the free item.

To spread the word about this initiative, recipients of a free item are encouraged to post to social media about their experience with the hashtag #SnaxForVax and tagging @vitaminshoppe.

It’s our way of playing a supporting role during this crucial phase of defeating COVID-19.”

For its own employees, The Vitamin Shoppe is offering up to 4 hours of pay for hourly Health Enthusiasts who take the time to get vaccinated.
