Health officials in Teton County, US, are launching an innovative vaccination effort to further increase community protection from Covid-19, AP reports.

The health department’s new “Vaxi Taxi”, a repurposed bus turned mobile vaccine clinic, aims to increase access to Covid-19 vaccines by reaching outlying populations that are unable to get their shots at the health department in town.

“The whole goal is to try to get to the people, to make it easier for people,” Public Health Response Coordinator Rachael Wheeler said. “Having a more mobile unit where we can easily set up inside that unit becomes really convenient for us,” she said.
