Coronavirus: Dubai, Cuba and Florida take up the challenge of "vaccine tourism

LIGHTNING - Some travel agencies are no longer hesitating to offer "all-inclusive" holidays.

How about basking in the sun, cocktail in hand, between two doses of vaccine? In any case, the concept of "vaccine tourism" seems to be spreading more and more. While Europe shudders at the thought of a shortage, some countries are not hesitating to offer the injection under the coconut trees. 

"Caribbean, mojito and vaccine"... This advert has been on air since Cuba to the whole of South America. From next March, tourists staying three weeks on the island will be entitled to Cuban vaccines, as announced by the authorities in this short publicity film, between two beach photos: " Tourists have the option of being vaccinated in Cuba if they so wish".
