All aboard! Thai bus brings vaccines to Bangkok's vulnerable

Thailand's capital launched on Wednesday a pilot bus service to ensure that the elderly and other vulnerable groups in Bangkok are vaccinated against COVID-19, underscoring the country's push to speed up its inoculation campaign.

Driven by the especially virulent Delta variant, Thai authorities have been struggling to contain the country's worst coronavirus outbreak since the start of the pandemic. In an effort to reach those who find it hard to travel far from their homes, the Bangkok city administration has laid on a bus equipped with a mobile vaccination team.
