Washington: In a bid to keep up the pace of the people getting shots, Anheuser-Busch has announced to “buy Americans 21+ a round of beer” if the United States reaches President Joe Biden’s aim to have 70% of the adults receive at least one dose of the vaccine by July 4 – the country’s Independence Day.

Anheuser-Busch has announced that it would “buy Americans 21+ a round of beer” once Biden’s 70% goal is met through a promotional giveaway on its website that will provide $5 credits to the first 200,000 people to respond when the nation reaches the vaccine threshold, The Associated Press reported.

The US President’s “month of action” will continue to use public and private-sector partnerships to encourage the people to roll up their sleeves, drawing in businesses, social media influencers, colleges, celebrities and community organizations to help spread the word about the benefits of vaccination and to encourage them to get shots, according to The White House.

62.8% of the adult population have so far received at least one dose of the vaccine in the US while 133.6 million have been fully vaccinated for Covid-19.
