Big Rooster outlets in Port Moresby will be offering free meals to anyone that receives the COVID-19 vaccination at the Rita Flynn Facility – a campaign drive by the Boroko Rotary Club in partnership with Big Rooster, which begins on the 23rd of August till 8th of September, 2021.
The campaigns’ primary aim is to boost vaccination coverage and get more citizens to be vaccinated and protected from COVID-19 and the recent Delta Variant strain.
Big Rooster’s Managing Director Mr Salim Chamadia said they will be giving out 15,000 meals to individuals that receive their vaccine at the designated site which is the Rita Flynn Facility.
“Anybody who arrives at Rita Flynn for vaccination for either the first dose or the second dose will be given a voucher that can later be presented at any of the Big Rooster outlets for a free meal.”
Mr Chamadia added that lunch will also be provided for all staff at Rita Flynn for the duration of the campaign.
Boroko Rotary Club’s Lionel Melville said the campaign is an important one and hopes that more people can get vaccinated and protected from the deadly virus.
“We hope that we can get more people in to be vaccinated.”
“We need everybody, as many as possible to be vaccinated and stop the vaccine hesitation due to misinformation out on the socials.”
“There is only one answer to this COVID-19 pandemic and that is to get people vaccinated which is the only way and last line of defense to prevent people from getting sick,” said Mr Melville.
