Israeli pub raises the bar on vaccines by offering an accompanying drink

At the world’s first vaccination bar in Tel Aviv, people can get a drink along with a shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

The Israeli Covid-19 vaccine programme has been setting the bar very high for the last number of months and now one pub there is raising a glass to its success — by launching a ‘free drink with your vaccine’.

But there is no sign of such an initiative being unveiled here in Ireland, especially with Taoiseach Micheál Martin now saying pubs and restaurants are unlikely to reopen until mid-summer.
