A former Australian cruise ship converted into a floating COVID vaccination clinic is in a race against time as the island nation of Vanuatu prepares to re-open to the world.
The logistics of cold chain management, distance to fixed health posts and reduced availability of healthcare workers all factor in. At least five cabins were ripped out to create space for necessities like a vaccine preparation room and storage area. The return of international tourists is generally seen as positive but there is concern over the pace of the vaccine rollout within the country.
