Romanians can get a jab just outside Bran Castle, reportedly the inspiration for Dracula\u2019s home as described in Bram Stoker\u2019s 19th-century novel \u201cDracula.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery weekend through May \u2018vaccination marathons\u2019 will be held just outside the storied 14th-century hilltop castle, where no appointment is needed, in an attempt to encourage people to protect themselves against COVID-19,\u201d The Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/europe-entertainment-coronavirus-pandemic-arts-and-entertainment-oddities-366088a94bfe6b69f2f9fe6dce662540\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to show people a different way to get the (vaccine) needle,\u201d Alexandru Priscu, the marketing manager at Bran Castle, told the AP.<\/p>\n<p>Those who get the Pfizer vaccine will receive a \u201cvaccination diploma,\u201d which the AP says \u201cis aptly illustrated with a fanged medical worker brandishing a syringe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides the diploma, people benefit with free entry to the [castle\u2019s] torture rooms, which have 52 medieval torture instruments,\u201d Priscu noted.<\/p>\n<p>In the first weekend of the program, nearly 400 people were vaccinated. Priscu also told the wire service that he has received \u201cscores of requests from foreigners wishing to get vaccinated in the spooky setting. Bad news for them: only residents of Romania can officially receive a jab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romania isn\u2019t the only place trying out different ways to draw people to get the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>West Virginia announced late last month that residents age 16-35 will get $100 savings bonds when they get vaccinated. Republican Gov. Jim Justice said the plan has been enacted to \u201cjump-start\u201d young people \u2014 who are less at risk of severe effects from the virus \u2014 to get the shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur kids today probably don\u2019t really realize just how important they are in shutting this thing down,\u201d Justice said. \u201cI\u2019m trying to come up with a way that\u2019s truly going to motivate them, and us, to get over the hump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor said he wants younger individuals \u201cto really see and understand that they\u2019ve done something that\u2019s really meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m telling you, West Virginia, it\u2019s time to shut this thing down\u201d unless state residents want COVID-19 to \u201clinger forever,\u201d Justice said. He added that the state decided to go with savings bonds instead of cash because cash would be \u201cjust \u2026 a dash in the pan and a couple of trips to Wendy\u2019s with your friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe just a real dose of patriotism from the standpoint of a savings bond\u201d would be meaningful to the young, he said. \u201cOur young people should be really, really proud if they help us step up,\u201d Justice said.<\/p>\n<p>Justice estimates the program would cost about $28 million if lots of people take up the offer. \u201cIt would be the best money ever spent, like you can\u2019t imagine,\u201d he said. Justice said vaccines will be available at the state basketball tournament in Charleston, and soon will be accessible at mobile units at fairs, festivals, and other events.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
