A Perth pub is offering a free pint to people who get vaccinated against COVID-19, but the offer only applies on the day of the shot.

South Perth’s Windsor Hotel has announced they are giving away a free pint of Ogden’s Brewery beer to those who can prove they have had their jab.

The promotion runs between 12pm-6pm daily.

The move comes hot on the heels of a similar one in Melbourne, which was shot down by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

The Prince Alfred Hotel was offering free pints to those who had received their shot, but the TGA called the pub and warned them about regulations that prevent using ‘alcohol, tobacco or registered medicines’ as incentives to get vaccinated.

But Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the move was a bit ‘heavy-handed’ and said he would ‘get it sorted’.

Now The Windsor is having a go, with the promotion beginning on Saturday.

Perth punters considering a jab now have the choice of two drinks after getting a shot at one of the city’s vaccination hubs: a juice box, or a pint of Ogden’s finest.

Or, they could have both.

    This is cool the current talk of incentives for the jab . I'll hold off for a better offer like $100 Bunning Card hehe .
    Yeap it can backfire if more people are like me :)

  • Laziofogna on 13/07/2021 - 11:59

    I am not an expert, can you drive straight away home after drinking a pint? What level will give you?

    • Cluster on 13/07/2021 - 12:22

      570ml in a pint of beer. Most beers are 5%, so that's 28.5ml of ethanol. 12.5ml of ethanol in a standard drink, so 2.28 standard drinks.

      Yeah, don't get in a car after consuming one beer. Wait a couple of hours.

    Not sure why everyone has their knickers in a knot. One free beer is not going to sway people that are against the vaccine from getting it. It's more of a thank you to the people that have made the choice.

    It's not like its the Government that's offering the beer.

    Scomo should spend less time "sorting out" illegal free beer vaccination promos and more time actually fixing the bungled vaccination program.

      Not for one beer! If they were offering up something that may prevent a lot of suffering with the possibility of premature death I might think about it.

    I'm from the UK, lots of friends in the NHS. The most heartbreaking thing in the pandemic was the lack of critical care beds available at the COVID peaks, they weren't able to perform 'routine operations'. Lots of people died from conditions that were perfectly treatable, but post-op they needed critical care, which was full of people dying from COVID. Most days there were no beds available, so no operations could be performed.

    Now, with 85% vaccinated the critical care beds are free again. I hope Australia doesn't have to see this.

    What's the point of getting the jab? You can't travel anywhere as a result, you can't avoid the stupid lockdowns that we do, and worst of all you're not actually immunised against the virus. Yes, you will still be able to catch it and pass it on… Don't waste my time.

    • DogGunn on 14/07/2021 - 04:08
      +3

      Oh I dunno, maybe because it reduces the severity of the disease in 96% of cases?

      What you're referring to is sterilising immunity. That is incredibly rare. Most vaccines don't result in such immunity. Ones like the measles vaccine appear to work amazingly, but mostly because it is rare in the community.

      Covid is unlikely to get to such a point.

      And quite clearly having more people immunised will result in a substantially decreased need for lockdowns and being able to travel.

    but the offer only applies on the day of the shot.

    not gonna lie, my first reaction was: oh of course they only start the promo on Friday…my first shot is on Thursday.

    i like a free alcoholic beverage but this promo is problematic for a few reasons:
    1) the vaccine isn't widely available to everyone yet
    2) doesn't this country already have an alcohol problem? using alcohol as an incentive for a health campaign trivialises it and is moronic marketing at its finest.
    3) the juice box alternative. lol jesus christ, might as well just offer us a lollipop and a sticker and be done with it.

    • GG57 on 14/07/2021 - 10:34

      We have to remember this is a promotion from a hotel (not the government or health authorities etc.).
      Unless you only go in for the one free beer, they will get increased business from their promotion. They don't care if the vaccine rollout increases in speed or breadth, or not.

  • Bullion78 on 14/07/2021 - 15:14

    If a free beer encourages you to take an experimental drug then bugger me, we have drifted from dumb to dumber as a society and very much bordering on an Idiocracy. This ain't about being anti vax either, it's about exercising common sense and waiting until we have some real world long term data (years) on its efficacy and safety. I certainly won't be participating in the experiment, nor will 1, 10 or a million free pints entice me.

    • pulpfiction on 14/07/2021 - 16:37

      Following this logic, you're basically saying the annual flu jab backed by decades of research and evidence (similar to mRNA vaccinations) is also experimental… and it's not about being antivax… cool story.

      • Bullion78 on 14/07/2021 - 20:07

        Might wanna recheck your vaccine knowledge champ. Hate to think you'd submit to the experiment being completely unaware that mRNA vaccines are absolutely a new frontier in vaccines and it's highly debatable in the scientific community as to whether they can even be defined as a vaccine.

        • pulpfiction on 14/07/2021 - 20:46

          How silly of me. Only 30 years new. Why would any one risk 30 years of shady medical research with the safety of a novel disease bearing limited long term effect data and a known death rate? Just madness. Thanks for imparting your wisdom upon us all.

    Covid vaccines are only "provisionally approved".

    "Provisional approval of this vaccine is valid for two years and means it can now be legally supplied in Australia. The approval is subject to certain strict conditions, such as the requirement for AstraZeneca to continue providing information to the TGA on longer term efficacy and safety from ongoing clinical trials and post-market assessment. COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca has been shown to prevent COVID-19 however it is not yet known whether it prevents transmission or asymptomatic disease."

    Post-market assessment… Let that sink in…

    It means they are getting the data as they go. They don't have the complete data about long term efficacy, and they definitely don't have the complete data on long term safety or long term side effects. You are the guinea pig. As Greg Hunt said "The world is engaged in the largest clinical trial, the largest global vaccination trial ever".

    Thanks, I'll wait and grab that beer in a few years. Neg all you want, the information is from TGA website and your health minister.

  • [Deactivated] on 14/07/2021 - 18:19

    This is how government sees people. Herd of cattle that will drop at glass of beer and get injected with vaccination that is still experimental to say that the least. A disease so deadly that no body wants a vaccination for. Infact people have to be bribed to get it.
