An unvaccinated man met a doctor at a bar. He left agreeing to get his first dose.
Mark Hall was not fond of Duane Mitchell's appetizer selection.
"That sounds awful. No, thank you," Hall joked.
Soon, the icebreaker that got the two strangers chatting at the bar of a Gainesville, Fla., restaurant earlier this month turned into an over three-hour-long conversation about coronavirus vaccines.
"What do you think about the vaccine?" Hall asked after Mitchell disclosed that he was a researcher studying human diseases at the University of Florida.
Mitchell replied that he believed in the vaccine and that he had been vaccinated. But Hall had no plans to get the shot. Hall said he had done extensive research about the vaccines, but plenty of his questions remained unanswered.
-----
By the end of the dinner, the men exchanged numbers, and Hall cracked one more joke. He'd get the vaccine - but only if Mitchell gave it to him, the physician told The Post. To Mitchell's surprise, Hall followed through and texted him to schedule his appointment at the university's clinic. Five days after their chance meeting, Hall received his first shot.

a vaccine-hesitant coworker of mine paused outside a doctor's office with a "get your covid vaccine" sign - the doctor actually wandered out and asked if he was vaccinated - he said no and the doc said, come on in, let's talk about that, no pressure....my coworker said he rolled up his sleeve 15 minutes later. When he got his second shot he asked the doc, how many folk have you talked into getting vaccinated - he smiled and said, "fifty-two" 
my coworker is black, and he laughed and said, I never thought a gay Jewish doctor could talk me into anything
