White House partners with dating apps to offer COVID-19 vaccine incentive

Some popular U.S. dating apps have partnered with the White House as the country works to get more people vaccinated against COVID-19.

Apps like Tinder, Hinge and OK Cupid are offering premium content at no cost to people who can prove they are vaccinated against COVID-19.

Users will also be able to filter potential matches by their vaccination status.

The move comes as vaccination rates in the U.S. are slowing down.

Right now about 48 per cent of the population has received at least one dose, with 38 per cent fully vaccinated.

President Joe Biden wants to see 70 per cent of the population fully vaccinated by July 4.
