In order to encourage young people to get vaccinated, an Israeli bar has decided to offer "free beers and shots for anyone vaccinated," reports the Spanish media
El Confidencial
.
This initiative is being carried out jointly with the Ichilov and Magen David Adom hospital.
"It's annoying to stand in line when you go to the appointment, but if you invite them for a drink and, while you're there, you offer them the vaccine, they won't refuse it", said the manager of the brand whose comments are relayed by
Business Insider
.
In the country, 33% of the population has already received the two doses of treatment against Covid-19, specifies the online newspaper.
Teens are reluctant
Teenagers are said to be particularly reluctant to be vaccinated.
Only 30% of young people eligible for treatment are said to have done so so far.
In recent weeks, 75% of new cases of people positive for the coronavirus concern a population under the age of 39, reports

Other brands are also encouraging people to take the plunge by offering to offer sweets or typical Jewish dishes.
Along with these initiatives, Israel has recently implemented intensive prevention campaigns to encourage people to get vaccinated.
