Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club hosted a walk-in vaccination clinic.
The clinic opened several hours before the strip club opened on Friday night.
JoAnn Rupiper, the chief nurse of the Southern Nevada Health District, tells the Associated Press, “this is just another way to access our population.It might attract some people who like the novelty of it, I suppose.”
“Nevada officials have been increasingly turning to pop-up clinics in places like churches, schools and senior centers -- and now strip clubs -- to try to get more shots in arms.
As demand has slowed across the country, governments and businesses are turning to other creative ways to get shots in arms. Marijuana dispensaries have offered “joints for jabs,” breweries have offered “shots and a chaser,” and Ohio next week plans to debut a lottery system for residents who get vaccinated with a $1 million prize and five full-ride college scholarships.
Las Vegas officials said the Hustler Club approached them about holding the clinic after hosting in a similar vaccination site at the company’s New Orleans location. The club offered its own incentives to those who show proof of vaccination: a membership card giving them and five friends free admission, a complimentary bottle of alcohol, dances from “a vaccinated entertainer” and other perks.”
As Producer Kenny said, “I don’t think I’d want to get jabbed by a needle at a Strip Club.”
