The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is partnering with the South Carolina Brewers Guild to administer vaccines at breweries statewide, as the agency looks to increase vaccinations for adults aged 20-24, who make up less than 1% of vaccinated SC individuals. Participants in the “Shot and a Chaser” campaign will receive a free beer or soda at the participating brewery after receiving their Johnson & Johnson or Moderna shot, a press release said.
“Brewers across South Carolina are committed to healthy communities,” Brewers Guild executive director Brook Bristow said in the release. “As small, locally minded businesses, our citizens are our most valuable asset. If they aren’t healthy, then we can’t be either. We’re excited to partner with DHEC to expand vaccine access across the state at many of our member breweries as a part of this program.”
Vaccine recipients will be monitored for 15 minutes after getting their shots, and proof of medical insurance is not required. Folks in the Charleston area will be able to get the one-shot Johnson & Johnson Janssen vaccine at these breweries from June 10-25:
- Thursday, June 10: Holy City Brewing from 3-6 p.m.
