Company officials say the product was born from the social media trend of “I’m Vaccinated” postings and the difficulty of explaining in verbal detail one’s COVID-19 status to people nearby. They add that these items help consumers put others at ease, and help break through a wall of fear that has been tough to penetrate for the past year.
“We take pride in being part of the next phase of Covid related products that are helping to ease fear and get people back to living a better life at work and around others,” said Matt Streem, president of Covid Status Wear. “My favorite story is repeated often by consumers, where people say if they had to sit next to a stranger on a plane who was wearing any one of these pins, it would make them feel better and safer.”
The product is available in five different status types as a single item for $7.99 or a five-pack for $24.99, the pins are available to ship now. There also is a complementary line of face masks at $3.99 for singles and $11.99 for a five-pack.
