A new COVID-19 vaccination center has been established at Bran Castle in Transylvania, Romania. This ancient castle is considered the inspiration for the image of the castle of the vampire Dracula in the famous novel of the same name, first published in the 19th century.

Every weekend in May, a special vaccination event is held just outside Bran Castle. People wishing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine can attend without an appointment. This is part of Romania’s vaccination campaign. A COVID-19 vaccination center has been established at Bran Castle in Transylvania.

In addition, the torture chambers containing a collection of 52 medieval torture instruments at Bran Castle are also open to the public free of charge. In the first days of the campaign, the medical staff at the “blood-sucking demon castle” vaccinated nearly 400 people. The castle also receives a large number of requests from foreigners wanting to experience COVID-19 vaccinations in the spooky rooms. However, this campaign is only for the people of Romania. In parallel with the Dracula castle campaign, the Romanian government also issued a series of other initiatives to promote vaccination of more than 19 million people. Romania’s goal is to vaccinate 5 million people against COVID-19 by June 1, the first step to bringing the country “back to normal”. On May 8, Bran Castle opened its first special vaccination event. Similar events have also been kicked off in several cities across Romania. Since the COVID-19 pandemic appeared, Romania has recorded a total of 1,066,731 infections, including 29,034 deaths.
