Would a Free Beer Encourage You to Get The COVID Vaccination?
Government leaders are looking for ways to encourage more people to get the COVID-19 Vaccination. Reports indicate a vaccine surplus as fewer people are now getting the shot and some are skipping the 2nd dose after getting the first. Buffalo started it and now Syracuse is following their lead, offering a free beer and other goodies for getting vaccinated.
Buffalo called it the Shot and A Chaser Clinic and even used Homer Simpson to promote it using his picture captioned with, MMM Beer. They partnered with the Resurgence Brewing Company to offer a Shot and a Chaser Vaccine Clinic at the brewery.
