USA It has become the favorite tourist destination of many Peruvians due to the free application of the vaccine offered in several of its states. New York was no stranger to this initiative and today embraces vaccine tourism offering the alternative of inoculating with the Johnson & Johnson, which only requires one dose.
In that sense, Mayor Bill Blasio proposed that vaccination be carried out in the most tourist centers of the city, such as the Central Park, Empire State Building or even the same metro station.
In the spirit of reactivating tourism and the economy, which collapsed as a result of the pandemic, certain places such as the American Museum of Natural History, offers four free tickets to those who get vaccinated within its facilities.
