A lot of people are hesitant to get the vaccine. Until you introduce scantily clad women. I’m Brian Banmiller on Business.

Recently Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club turned itself into a walk-in vaccination clinic. Because demand for the vaccine has dropped government officials are getting creative when it comes to getting shots in arms. And that includes what some people call “the most Vegas thing they’ve ever seen”. For a few hours, Larry’s Flynt’s Hustler Club gives out shots before it opens for regular business. And it’s not just for customers, some workers have been taking advantage of the perks and getting a shot before they clock in. Most, in full costume. Now, people who are showing up to go to the club are admitting that the additional perk is making them change their mind. One man says he was going to wait until his wife told him they could both get it at the Hustler Club. Another man says he had been putting off getting the shot, but realized he needed it if he wanted to resume his love of traveling. Besides, nothing says vaccinations like a stripper pole.
