Aiming to vaccinate 10 million people by September, Romania has turned one of its most popular tourist attractions into a vaccination center. The Bran Castle of the famous Dracula in Transylvania offers now a salvage injection.
On the day of vaccination, you can visit the exhibition of medieval torture instruments free of charge. Those wishing to risk their necks are also presented with a special certificate and an invitation to visit the castle again, valid for the next 100 years.
According to the attraction's Facebook page, vaccinations will take place as part of the marathon every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in May. Everyone will be vaccinated with a drug developed by Pfizer and BioNTech without an appointment.
Interestingly, almost half of Romanians say they are not going to get vaccinated - this is one of the highest levels of vaccine distrust in Europe.
In addition, the Romanian government hopes that the initiative of the castle will attract tourists to the Carpathians.
Bran Castle is located at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, 170 km north of Bucharest. It is called the castle of Dracula, because, according to the legend, the ruler Vlad the Impaler spent the night in it during his campaigns. Vlad the Impaler became the prototype for the title character in Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula".
