Usually, Vienna's trams can be seen gliding past Baroque palaces, but this winter, one of them will take on a new role; helping Viennese get the seasonal flu vaccine.

The “vaccine tram” has been unveiled as part of a campaign being launched by the city to provide residents with free vaccinations and thereby reduce any potential pressure on hospitals from coronavirus patients, according to AFP.

The Viennese are being urged to either register for a spot on the tram or to head to one of several health centres and around 600 doctors' offices where the vaccine is being administered.
