Haircut and a vaccine?

A barbershop in the US is offering customers coronavirus vaccinations as well as regular trims.

Gee's Clippers in Wisconsin held its first COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the weekend with more planned over the coming weeks after the business teamed up with a nearby pharmacy.

The shop's owner, Gualien 'Gee' Smith, believes that it is the ideal place to get the jab as many customers have a better relationship with their barber compared to their doctor.

He told WDJT-TV: "A lot of clients have a better relationship with their barber than they do their physician. So what better place to have a vaccine administered than a barbershop?"

Customer Ryan Wroten only visited the shop for a quick haircut but ended up getting the first dose of his vaccine.

He said: "I just decided to do it today.

"The chances of me making a doctor's appointment today was probably slim. But if it's here, if it's offered while I'm already at the barbershop, then you take advantage of it."
