The City of Jerusalem conducted vaccinations for young people at Mahane Yehuda's bars Thursday in a bid to encourage more people to get vaccinated in efforts to combat the coronavirus.
The municipality set up a vaccination booth close to the bars as part of the effort to encourage vaccinations.
Many younger people arrived Thursday evening at the pubs on Beit Yaakov Street to get vaccinated, which was initiated by the Youth Center of the Youth Authority.
As part of the effort, local bars distributed free non-alcoholic drinks to those getting vaccinated. The vaccination process was conducted by medical staff from Magen David Adom (MDA), who were also present to answer questions about vaccines and coronavirus.
"We continue our efforts, with all the means at our disposal, to encourage young people in Jerusalem to get vaccinated and return to a normal life routine. I continue to call on everyone to get vaccinated." In recent weeks, similar efforts took place in Tel Aviv. The city's municipality began organizing pop-up bars which have been mobilized through out the city in cooperation with the Restaurant & Nightlife Associations.
