Dracula is doing his part in the fight against COVID-19. Or at least, Bran Castle in Romania is! That’s right, Dracula’s Castle is helping with vaccine efforts!

According to Travel & Leisure, Bran Castle, which is often referred to as Dracula’s Castle is offering their visitors a chance to be vaccinated against COVID-19 for free. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in May, the castle will be the site of a vaccination marathon. And admission to the castle is not required!

Of course, if you do get the vaccine at Dracula’s Castle, you will not only get a “diploma” that states you have been vaccinated at Bran Castle, but if you choose to pay for admission to the castle, you also get free access to their medieval torture tools exhibit. (If you’re like me then you consider needles a torture tool and feel like this is a fitting experience following your vaccination.)

Perhaps the best part of this entire thing is the fact that the campaign to promote this vaccination effort is all about the Dracula fangs we know and (maybe) love. Not only do we see some of the ads giving us the image of a needle being replaced with fangs, but even the nurse in the promotional material is fanged.

You can get your COVID-19 vaccine at Dracula’s Castle!

Even the medical personnel helping to distribute the vaccine at the castle are leaning into the Dracula theme with the help of fang stickers decorating their scrubs! And if that isn’t enough to make any Dracula fans wish they were in Romania to get their vaccine, I don’t know what will.

Honestly, I love how so many companies and organizations are doing their part to promote the COVID-19 vaccinations and helping to get as many people vaccinated as possible. And for anyone looking for a story to go along with their vaccine, getting stabbed by Dracula might just be the ultimate tale! (Obviously, Dracula is not the one doing the needle jab, but still, we are here for it!)
