Seniors flock to strip club for flu shots

CASSELBERRY, Fla., Oct. 15 (UPI) -- The offer of free flu shots was enough to entice hundreds of Florida senior citizens into a strip bar for vaccinations, the owner says.

Jim Veigle, owner of Rachel's in Casselberry, Fla., says he offers the free flu shots as a public service to the neighborhood's elderly, and after going through 300 vaccinations in one day, procured more for another round Tuesday, The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported.

"People need the help," Veigle told the newspaper, adding that twice as many seniors showed up for the shots as in past years, indicating the times are getting harder.

The shots weren't administered by Rachel's dancers, however. Instead, nurses did the job, and the only thing they were flashing were needles, the newspaper said.
