Instead of waiting for hours in front of a medical station or a registration website, people in some countries can now go to Dracula castle, the beach, the museum … to get a Covid-19 vaccine.

Bran Castle – a popular tourist attraction in Transylvania, Romania – which is considered the inspiration for the famous Dracula novel series, has set up a Covid-19 vaccination center. According to a notice from the management, visitors can come for free injections every weekend in May without an appointment. Photo: Getty. In addition, tourists coming here will also be able to visit the castle’s gallery of 52 medieval torture instruments at no extra cost. However, vaccination is only available to Romanian citizens. Marketing director Alexandru Priscu said the campaign was meant to “make vaccinations more fun”. Photo: BBC. In the US, people can register for the Covid-19 vaccine when attending sports matches. On May 10, each audience present at the hockey game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New Jersey Devil team had the opportunity to get a shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The campaign is also held at games by the Seattle Mariners baseball team or the Seattle Sounders football team. Photo: AP. On May 11, in the opening match at the home of St. Paul Saints in Minnesota, this baseball fan was vaccinated and given 4 vouchers to watch another game. Manager Derek Sharrer said: “This is a great opportunity for the audience to be vaccinated in a favorable way.” Photo: AP. In addition to fixed health stations, British people can register for vaccinations at churches. Twice a week, about 800 citizens can go to Poet’s Corner at Westminster Abbey (London, England) to receive medical staff’s help with Covid-19 vaccination. On its website, the monastery said that this vaccine site will accept individuals who make an appointment through the National Health Service, which is expected to operate until at least the end of June this year.

According to data from Our World in Data, more than half of the UK population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. Photo: Sky News. Since May, David Richardson, City Commissioner of Miami (USA), has launched an initiative to establish non-permanent vaccination points in the South Beach area. “We want to reach beachgoers and encourage them to change their mind about vaccination,” said Richardson. By the second day of the campaign, the registration points had consumed 125 doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine and also used up 50 additional doses. Photo: Getty. Mr. Richardson said the campaign was heavily promoted on media and social networks. In addition to the target group of tourists coming to the Miami beach to relax, the city government also wants to mobilize neighboring people to come here to get vaccinated. “Some people come here in bathing suits, there are also people who come here to get vaccinated.” Photo: Miami Herald. The new vaccination site that is receiving attention from New York City public opinion is the bottom of a more than 28,000-meter whale model at the American Museum of Natural History. Those who register for vaccination here are given a voucher to visit the museum for free the next day. “This is the newest, hottest vaccination site right now,” New York City Councilmember Mark Levine wrote on Twitter.

Visitors and Colorado residents will not need to register in advance to make a reservation. “Hopefully this will help the community continue the process of vaccination to overcome the pandemic,” said Tony Cammarata, head of the Arapahoe Basin patrol.
