They added new features to their app and website to support a government campaign themed ‘every vaccination gives us hope’. The campaign encourages young people to get vaccinated in the second phase of vaccine rollout for youth and joins the millions who have already received the vaccine.
The new features will allow users to show their support for the vaccine on their dating profile and provide an internal bonus in the app for users who state they have been vaccinated.
While vaccination status on this app is optional, data shows that people are more likely to date someone who has received a Covid-19 vaccination.
UK Vaccine Minister Minister Zahawi said he was excited to partner with a dating app to increase vaccinations across the UK. According to Zahawi, this initiative is another great asset for the UK’s vaccination programme, which is the largest and most successful in UK history.
“A vaccine is our way out of this pandemic and we have made tremendous progress so far with more than three quarters of adults having received at least one dose,” he said. /2021).
“I encourage everyone who is eligible to roll up their sleeves to get vaccinated. It can save your life and protect those you love,” Zahawi continued.

“We understand the concerns of young Muslims about vaccination, especially those who are in the process of getting married. Misinformation has spread at an alarming rate in our community. That’s why we’re excited to work with the NHS to dispel myths about vaccines and encourage our members to get vaccinated.”
He said that as a marriage app that helps single Muslims find love, they know when a pandemic hits they must act quickly to ensure people can meet safely.
“We are the first Muslim marriage app to launch Video and Voice Calls for our members so they can meet on virtual dates. As we begin to return to the new normal, it is imperative that young Muslims get vaccinated to ensure their own safety as well as the safety of their loved ones”, explained Younas.
Meanwhile the British Ambassador to Indonesia and Timor Leste, Owen Jenkins said that Indonesia has now vaccinated more people than the other ASEAN countries combined.
According to Owen, this number is a remarkable achievement, especially considering Indonesia’s large and geographically dispersed population. “Vaccination remains our best route out of the pandemic and for long-term recovery.”
“When I saw news about British technology applications helping the UK government promote vaccine launches, I immediately thought of Indonesia. The technology and digital sectors are Indonesia’s great economic strengths and continue to grow,” said Owen.
“I’m sure there are several ways that have helped, and maybe there are other ways they can do to make vaccine launches even more successful in Indonesia in the next few months,” said Owen.
