While vaccination is accelerating in France and the United States, on the contrary, there is a slack in the countryside. So to overcome the reluctance of Americans, stores offer free hamburgers or donuts for newly vaccinated customers. And in New Jerzey, some bars offer a beer.
Inside a shed isolated from the main road, huge beer kegs are installed. Beer is made on site. The clientele is young. Vaccinated people have the right to a free beer once but under two conditions: present an identity document and a vaccination card. In New Jersey, 13 bars are involved in the operation. Customers who request their free beer are still rare.
Joe Biden made a promise: 7 in 10 adults vaccinated by July 4. To achieve this, he relies on these little rewards that make people get vaccinated.
