The city that never sleeps has been forced into a slumber during the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the coronavirus vaccination effort in the United States well underway, the Big Apple is once again inviting travellers to come take a bite.

New York City is offering free coronavirus jabs to tourists, and to sweeten the deal, travellers won’t even have to waste a day of sightseeing receiving it.

Mobile vaccination vans will be situated at Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and other popular locations, according to Mayor Bill De Blasio.

“We think this is a positive message to send to tourists,” he said, adding “come here and we’re going to take care of you.”

The announcement of the new “vaxication” offer comes as restrictions ease further on restaurants and live shows, as more and more Knickerbockers are inoculated.
